That actually uses more fuel as being in neutral, the engine uses more fuel to stop it stalling. What you actually want to do is just slow down in gear.

You get further coasting than in gear though

its about 23mpg

i calculated that that is approx 8km per litre of fuel. i get around 10-12 in a 1.2 8v. so for an rx-7 it is really good imho

Thanks

I don't even know what I get to a tenner these days, never ever just put a tenner/twenty in any of my cars, just fill em right up.

And that gets me 350 miles (35 litres).

you let your car sit there for 3 minutes or more before you start driving it every time?

wtf

you're better off driving it without thrashing the bollocks off it until the temperature gets up.

Don't ever just start a car and leave it, it's drinking fuel idling!

Jump in, start and go steady till the water/oil has warmed up

If I did motorway miles with the cruise sat on 70 I could get it into the low 60s.

Generally, sat at 80-85, I get 56.4, but the bulk of my milage is town milage
