Hey guys, I've been usually driving in neutral for a year or so na when I get the right speed or when going downhill and I just want to know if it is a bad driving practice. I've read in the PinoyPC.net forums that it isn't good at all, I just want to ask your opinions on this.

Do you guys do the same? Do you guys did it before? What are its negative effects? I heard it affects the carborator and a lot more other parts, like the breaks because of the stress it receives compared to engine breaking. I would say that one of my reasons of doing this rather than engine breaking is because it appears to be fuel saving. Please do post your experiences and observations.

Sorry if I'm too n00bish, I'm just really curious on the facts regarding this. I kinda got used to it now and planning to stop doing the next time I drive. In my case, I've been getting the low idling because of carborator and fuel filter problems.

Thanks!
