Sorry, but you are wrong about coasting in gear. When you coast in gear, you do consume gas. If you didn't, your engine would stop running. The amount of fuel is indeed much less, but the engine is still burning fuel while coasting in gear. Even an engine driven by the wheels burns gas.
hey how on earth would you coast in gear , without pressing the gas pedal. the car would suddenly stop . don't get it. It would coast in gear but having the clutch pressed.
