How does coasting in neutral save you fuel?
So the argument that you’ll save fuel doesn’t work, because you won’t. See, many modern vehicles will, when the system detects the vehicle is coasting (no load being applied via the throttle), shut off fuel supply or in those with the technology deactivate cylinders to reduce the amount of fuel being consumed.
What causes engine knock in a car engine?
Basically, engine knock (also known as pinging, detonation and spark knock) occurs when the air/fuel mixture inside a cylinder is incorrect, which makes the fuel burn unevenly. Under normal conditions, the fuel burns in pockets, rather than in one giant fireball within, and when each pocket of fuel burns,…
Why does my car not move when I step on the gas?
The brake may be on simply because the driver forgot to disengage it, or it may be stuck. An emergency brake can become stuck if it is left on for a long period of time or if it was applied with more force than usual.
Can a car coast down a hill in neutral?
So, don’t coast down a hill in Neutral in either a manual or automatic transmission, you won’t save fuel and you could break your transmission when you move from Neutral to a Gear, oh, and you won’t have any way of accelerating when you’re in Neutral, so your vehicle control is greatly reduced.
When to use Nock to test external services?
Unless the test is explicitly designed to test an external service’s availability, response time, or data shape, then it should not fail because of an external dependency. Intercepting and controlling the behaviour of external HTTP requests returns reliability to our tests. This is where Nock comes in. What is Nock?

What is the feature of back in Nock?
A current ‘feature’ of nock.back is that when used in the same test file as standard nock interceptors they can interfere with each other, unless any nock.back tests are bookended per test as so: This ensures that any following tests do not unintentionally use the fixtures just generated.
How does Nock help us avoid the challenges mentioned?
Nock allows us to avoid the mentioned challenges by intercepting external HTTP requests and enabling us to either return custom responses to test different scenarios, or store real responses as ‘fixtures’, canned data that will return reliable responses. Using canned data does come with risks, as it can go stale if not refreshed periodically.
