Not much petrol but putting the transmision back into gear when the engine speed is at an idle and the car is doing 60mph probably isn't the best for thr synchros in the transmission.

1st off you shouldn't in any respect coast ANY motorized vehicle down hills. it truly is amazingly risky and thoroughly idiotic for any in charge motive force to do.2d you lose engine braking which will save your brakes and somewhat likely your existence. i stay the position there are 11 to 16% grades and espresso gears are manditory. attempt coasting down this variety of and making use of purely your brakes. and the roads are revealed with 10 and 15 mile an hour corners( hairpins). I really have carbon metal brakes on all my automobiles and that i nonetheless equipment down regardless of an automatic. the seize will be high-quality yet you're worse for the placed on after the crash. so do your self a opt for be in charge and do not ever coast downhill in impartial.

I do it in my car! Some time I will even hit 100mph mark. I got steep hills around here. It saves me gas because I am at 1,000RPM at 90mph and I coast for about 5.6 miles. I slow down to 55mph before putting it back into gear.
