first question -

what damage does prolonged EOC do to your car? i am taking a new route to work an i now have the opportunity to EOC for quite a distance, about 10km or 6mi, at an average speed of 80kph to 100kph (60mph) taking about 7 min. im just wondering with my Hyundai Tucson 2.0 manual, what sort of prepwork does the car need. im worried about things like gearbox oil circulation, power steering loss, and brake loss. are any of these components now going to get damaged or broken with continuous EOC?

second question -

part of the hill im freewheeling down gets very steap and even if i am freewheeling in gear i still have to slow the car down using the brakes to keep within the speed limit (90% of the time not done). How much fuel will be saved EOC this portion of the hill vs coasting in gear?

i am not going to go into details like power steering delete and using a switch to kill ignition for now i just want to use the car as it is
