By pressing down clutch do i save fuel?
When I am driving if car is for example in 4th gear and speed is 80km/h and then I press down the clutch completely and release the accelater and let the car go with momentum for 3-4 hundred meters until speed drops to 70 or sth like that and then press the gas again until speed is back to 80 and continue in this way, am i saving fuel? Please explain it. Is it the more efficient way or just releasing the gas pedal is more efficient. My car is not a new car it is 96 model.

no you are not saving . you are using more gaz to bring the speed up to 80. the best way for you to save is to drive slower and study. do not accelerate and slow down.
any gas you would save is gobbled up when you speed back up all your doing is wearing out the clutch.
The only way you would save gas that way is without the re-acceleration. The load put on the engine from the rapid rpm gain to match your previous speed uses more gas than if you kept speed constant.
