i go to school at WVU so i know what you mean. i just pop her in neutral and do a 85-90 mile an hour coast downhill. that helps with gas mileage. damn sr still only gets like 28 mpg if i do that though
i need my afc tuned lol

 

I actually coast in gear. While the hear is in gear and the accelrator isn't pressed, no fuel is going into the motor. However, in neatral, fuel is being used to keep the engine alive at idle.

 

haha really. i learned something new. so costing in gear is saves gas. how come you burn gas downshifting?

 

Your engine has to match revs for the gear, whether you do it yourself or let the clutch force it back up.

 

but when u put it in netral you coast a crap load further, because the car in gear has the whole engine deceleration thing slowing it down, while the guy in neatral only has the wind, so when you have to accelerate to coast some more you just lost double the amount of gas that the guy in neutral save cause he is still coasting.

 

All I know is that I've saved more gas coasting in gear than I have coasting in neutral. Plus my car does the whole backfire poping flames deal while I'm decellerating in gear

 

mine too :-). only problem is it attracts every civic and caviler withing ear distance to try and race you. i'll try the coasting in gear. we have huge montains here so we shall see

 

Awww, man, I love those noises! I had a big exhaust leak for a few days (OK, the muffler pipe had rusted completely through ) and I got those noises coming through my exhaust like that. It's fantastic!

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust or what?

 

i dont know about him but i have 3 inches from the turbo back wiht a test pipe. that thing pops and shoots flames like crazy

 

Same here minus the tubo and plus a DC Sports Header. I love backfiring.

 

Ehh...gas is overrated.


Fred and Barney knew where it was at.

 

but when a civic gets really close behind and you get a nice backfire.... mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm that's some good fried RICE

 

Dude, I scare people with my backfires. I amde two asian ladies run for thier lives when they heard my backfire, lol.

 

wow that's some ghetto **** i just spit blue flames. i need to recirculate. i wonder how much that would help out. people complain my car smells of gas. especially when they drive behind me hehe

 

Blue means burning oil, fyi. BTW, I'm NA
