Neutral works fine- in warm weather at 60 mph, I get 300 mpg in neutral.

I did try with the car in neutral and it just goes back to 1000rpm and sits there when I put the key back to "ON" to reactivate the headlights. I couldn't tell if the engine was actually on but tbh the wear on my battery probably isn't even worth the fuel saving. I'll keep experimenting but I'm still getting 45-47 on an NEDC tested car rated 45.4mpg so I'd say I'm doing very well. Gonna keep trying different speeds and just see what works, and do some pulse and glide with neutral and try to use neutral a bit more strategically as there's a significant difference vs keeping it in gear when it comes to speed reduction time.
