... I'd have to check that out actually. I'll make a note of that in the back of my noggin...

I know that when you have your foot off the gas fuel cutoff is pretty much instant and it doesn't seem to kick back on until around 15 or so mph. once in MO i was going down a steep grade using no gas for about 2 miles and it kept around 65-70mph, but the thing slows down so much when you take off the gas pedal you never really have to use your brakes if you slow down early like I do (save money 2 ways! woo)
