Coasting in neutral

That's why you're suppose to be in the correct gear. If you coast in neutral in a manual car on your driver's test it's an instant fail. Everybody should know how to drive a manual properly before taking short cuts.

always being in the correct gear makes sense, yes. However that user made the "you should always be in gear" claim in support of his recommendation to always coast in the highest gear. It's stupid.

Coasting in the highest gear for the hyper mileage is factual science that is provided with mathematical indisputable data, if you wish to exercise your autism in the matter go ahead.

it's not science. its just the way the fuel map is set up.

Thanks for demonstrating you don't know what you're talking about

i drive manual cars for the fun and engagement fuck the MPGs

>engine braking

Don't do this. Use your brakes which are actually designed for slowing the car down.

does rev matching really save the clutch though? I feel like I'm engaging the clutch twice as much compared to if I just coasted to stops. I always rev match and use engine braking quite a bit, but I feel like it's costing my car's engine and clutch life
