So I just wanted to post what I did recently...
-I
did not coast in neutral for this last half tank I
only coasted in 5th when and if I needed to or wanted to coast.
-I only drove for
mpg sakes only 3/4 of the time, and even hauled @$$ quite a few times.
- I
did not skip shift at all !
-I did the same exact drives as I have done before.
My result was 35.5 MPG 100% (socal LA) City!!!
So I think its safe to say that coasting in 5th is very worth it. Its not necessarily definitive, but I am very convinced
Remember my best tank with coasting in neutral and skip shifting and
trying my darndest to drive for 100% mpg sakes I was able to get thus far
36.5 MPG.
In this current tank I am just getting the car used to hauling @$$ as I have not really done that yet but it looks like I am going to get pooo for
MPG.
