Can't remember... Wasn't particularly paying attention to what I was doing...

I think it was a no, it doesn't use as much fuel hanging in gear. I think...

Depends on whether you are coasting or not...

re-reading (or rather reading more carefully) the original post - I presume you mean coasting...

Then there is the potential to use less fuel as the energy to keep the engine rotating can be taken from the drive train, in effect increasing the rate of deceleration of the car.

If you want to maintain a constant speed, then my original comment stands...

cheers,

Ben.
