NO! When you are off the throttle IN a gear you are using almost no fuel. Coasting actually works the engine like a generator. When you are in neutral and braking the engine will just be idling as if you are stopped.



That's what I do if I know I'm going to have to come to a complete stop, go to Neutral after slowing down to 1500rpm or so in whichever gear I happen to be in. If I won't have to stop just leave it in gear, maybe downshift once or twice. Putting it in Neutral does use MORE gas than leaving it in gear and not braking even if you are at 4000rpm.



Sorry, but your results are going to be almost exclusively from different conditions. You may not realize it but you probably drive more aggressively with it on. S-mode alone is not going to add or remove 25 miles per tank....are you guys nuts?

as others have said... who the f- cares.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR DAMN FUEL ECONOMY GO BUY AN F-ING CIVIC OR CAROLLA

if you're too cheap to fill up premium, fill when you need gas and are penny pinching for a few more squirts of gas... refer to above and sell the damn car and :gtfo2:

Well then sir you need to learn throttle control if your going to rev the piss out a the engine to match speed. I do totally agree with you though go buy a godamn Prius if you care about mpg or maybe a BMW 2m series you'll get 30+ mpg 300+ hp and look like a homosexual while doing it

FWIW, I am meticulous about determining my mpg every time I fill up (I don't really care... it's just habit after nearly 20 years). I can honestly say there is no noticeable difference in my mpgs with SRM on vs off. When it is off, I do the rev matching myself.

I have always done the MPG in my head as I drive along. I approximate. 64 miles, 7.5 gallons is 8+ MPG, and alot of driving fun.

I like to coast everywhere I go so that I can conserve as much fuel as possible. Screw actually driving the car as it was intended.
