What does it mean when your car is in neutral?
The higher the percentage of on time to off time, the more fuel. There’s one on pulse for every cylinder firing, so the consumption also varies with engine speed (rpm). All vehicles show a short pulse width at idle, regardless of whether they’re sitting in traffic at a red light or coasting downhill—at idle—in neutral.
Do you need to apply the brakes when shifting to neutral?
