minus-squareCourant d'air 🍃@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up7·26 days agoCruising 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)
minus-squareQuazatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·26 days agoTrue, 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.
minus-squareCourant d'air 🍃@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-226 days agoYeah, 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.
