There's a time for that, and there's a time for coasting in neutral. DFCO trades zero fuel usage for a shorter glide distance. You have to weight the situation to see what's best. Generally, it's better to coast in neutral, because of the longer glide distance. If you're having to stop anyway, use DFCO. |
Who knew all this stuff? Thanks for all the tips! What I've found out is that indeed my car does read "OPEN LP" when in coast. But, when I shift to Neutral while coasting it goes into "CLSD LP" and the GPH guage starts to take readings again. That seems sort of strange. That would mean that all of a sudden the car is using fuel again even though I just went from D in N.
