Is there any stradigy for getting better mileage my daily mountainous commute. Its impossible to avoid hills on my commute. Thanks for the response.
Depends if you are loosing momentum by leaving it in gear then it may be more efficient to put it in neutral and coast further faster maintaining more momentum and speed.boutmuet said:I thought leaving the car in gear down a hill uses less fuel than if I shifted into neutral?
Depends how steep the hill is, and whether you need to brake.boutmuet said:I thought leaving the car in gear down a hill uses less fuel than if I shifted into neutral?
Too fastTDI_Convert said:FWIW, I coasted down a hill today in 5th @ 65 mph (& slightly climbing), both the boost and EGT gauges were bottomed out at their lowest reading. I wonder how fast I would have gone if in neutral?
