Where is the drag raceeeeeeeeee?

I asume newer corvettes does less mpg thought. And as billybobjoe198 said if u don't leave it on neutral but on some gear downhill u will get 99.9mpg too.

@billybobjoe198 lol. if ur car is fully warmed up, you can shut the engine off, coast, and when u need to brake, turn on ignition, let goclutch and fired it up as u brake

@billybobjoe198 ding ding! The engine uses more fuel to idle than to coast in-gear.

You people are idiots.

If you're rolling down a hill in a n EFI car that's manual you need to leave it in gear to maximize gas mileage. 4:22 he says he was in neutral, if you have it in your highest gear you'll manage minimal engine braking while using the gearing to your advantage to have the wheels turn the engine over rather than the gasoline. You do not use fuel while coasting in gear, you do while in neutral.
