However, if you coast NOT in gears but in neutral. You are actually consuming gas. The engine has to inject a small amount of gas into the engine in order to keep the engine spinning, or else the engine will stall.


Do correct me if I'm wrong though.
We'll just have to agree to disagree..but that's ok .
