Don't flame me for this. I have been running a unscientific test here. Really it is more common since than anything. Here is my test. Try if you want. I have been using cruise control a little more now a days that gas is high. For long trips on a flat road cruise is a good thing. Other than that it is not a good friend to have. IMHO. Anyway, using cruise at 55-60 on a highway, Scanguage states I am getting about 22-24MPG. Not bad. light turns red and I can see this from a distance. take off cruise and coast. Scanguage goes up to like 69-85MPG. after I let off cruise control shift into "N" as fast as you can and coast as far as you can and stay off the brakes and gas. Every time I do this the Scanguage shoots up to 130 -200 MPG being on flat road. going down hill coasting in "N" will get you closer to the 200 mark. Being a granny with the gas now and trying this with my last tank has yield me almost 40MPG more than on average. I did get 240 for a tank. On avg. all I ever get is 200-205 between fill ups.:bigthumb:
Like I said. Try it. You got nothing to loose. :wave:
