    Cruising in neutral doesn’t save gas at all, the engine still has to run so gas is injected. When cruising with a gear, the wheels make the engine run so it doesn’t need gas (not true for carburetors though if I’m not wrong)

      True, but living in a country where the majority of cars are still manual I can tell you that that myth still stands.

      We have electronic injection engines, you can stop with that neutral crap now.

        Yeah, plus even carburetors engines don’t burn more fuel being on a gear than on neutral so there’s literally never an advantage to do that.

        People should just remember that cruising in neutral is not good, period.
