All the time. I also coast quite a bit, clutch out in neutral. On the way home from work I get a little over a km coasting at idle downhill

The smarter auto-boxes skip shift as well, from what I understand. I have heard it referenced as shift strategy. Fuel economy is the goal. The sooner you get into the OD gears, the better for MPG.
That being said, I have heard that engine braking is actually more effective than coasting due to the fact that the injectors actually shutoff while engine braking as opposed to maintaining idle when you're coasting in neutral with the clutch in. |
