Well I find with my Ford it loses power and drops MPG here in the summer in AZ, so that does not seem like it will work.

And with power brakes, steering and an automatic EOC is not a option.

And here is a puzzle: my 1993 Chevy van with TBI and a OBDi system will allow me to shift into neutral and coast with the engine running at idle speed/RPM BUT when I try that with my Ford at say 70MPH and 1700RPMS kicking it out of gear and the engine races at 2400RPMs, so it seems to use as much gas either way.
