All of my cars are AT, as we all know it moves when shift to DRIVE without even stepping on the gas. On that state, is it consuming fuel? Do you think I can save gas by shifting to NEUTRAL (instead on DRIVE and stepping on the break while on a stop)?

When engine is running, it is consuming fuel. As above if yu stop for a while turn motor off til you need it. Watching the consumption computer on my (manual) car even putting the air con on will increase fuel consumption whilst idling. When you shift from neutral to drive in your AT you make the torque converter work and the engine management system will add more fuel to maintain engine idle revs.

Does your truck have a tow kit? A tow kit can comprise on or greater of: a decrease kit ratio rear end, a much bigger battery, a greater suited alternator, a transmission oil cooler, an oil cooler and probable even a ability steerage fluid cooler. in case you have a tow kit, working the air at the same time as towing is genuinely no longer an argument. in case you haven't any longer have been given a tow kit, it ought to probable be an argument below severe circumstances. Your engine could be waiting to guard the burden you describe in the adventure that your boat is a typical weight for its length. If it weighs 4000 lbs besides the undeniable fact that, that isn't be the case.

No, it will not be working but it will be idling faster. There is no savings. Now, if you are waiting for a train to pass, that is different. Put in park and turn the engine off.
