I do get what you're saying. Coasting in drive uses no gas vs. in neutral it does use a little gas, because the engine is still receiving some fuel, vs. in drive where it's using the transmissions momentum to keep the engine turning and the fuel injectors are fully closed.

What I meant was that I figured it would still save more gas to coast a long distance in neutral(less wheel resistance) vs. in drive where it's being slowed down. However today I coasted a good distance to a long red light in drive, went from 45mph to 30mph vs. in neutral ending up around 35mph. So being in drive really doesn't slow it down as much as I thought. Good deal. Thanks again for the tip.
