Here's one that I am VERY interested in.....When coasting...with eith engine off or on..... how much less fuel is used when in neutral and the clutch is depressed compared to in neutral without the clutch being depressed. At the local speed shop we talked this over and came to the conclusion that there are less rotating parts in the tranny when the clutch is activated! This has to amount to some savings.....anyone out therer with a scan gauge want to let me in on the difference in their car?
