This practice is illegal in other markets for safety reasons.
It was also illegal and clearly marked by signs in the Clark and Subic when they were still used as military bases.

I also agree with this; coasting while in gear (i.e. when slowing down, going downhill). I noticed this with my LPG where i hear the injector feed click on and off. It clicks off (and still doesnt shift back to gas mode) when i'm decelerating or coasting with my car in gear and not stepping on the gas. Once i shift to neutral or the car hits a certain, low RPM, the injector feed clicks on again. When i shifted to this practice (keeping the car in gear and not at neutral when coasting), my FC actually improved by an additional .5 to 1km/L on the Altis.
Another is with the vacuum gauge GH posted before, (borrowed the pic GH posted), the point with high manifold vacuum pressure is when the car is decelerating and not at idle.
Coasting at neutral, especially if you're going downhill isn't safe. There's lower brake assist, no engine braking, and the vehicle balance is... not balanced (its like steering a grocery cart down a ramp). Plus if there's an emergency and you have to accelerate, it takes more time to power out as you have to shift back into gear.Last edited by vinj; January 25th, 2011 at 01:38 PM.

Trading safety for fuel economy is very stupid. Stupid idea, that is what I think...

too risky....very tough to decide where to shift your gear once you are in emergency situation.....
2 words: ENGINE BRAKE.

as far as I know, this is not recommended, especially in A/T cars.
nagcocoast naman yung mga A/T if you stop pressing on the gas

Engaging your angel gear (neutral) puts you nearer to the doors of hell....
