I am currently driving an automatic.
Sometimes, when going down a hill I will shift the stick into neutral so that the engine is not running.
Will this hurt my transmission ?
Thanks

This refers to when you’re coasting or when you’re going down a slope and in either case, you’re not pressing your foot on the accelerator.

I was wondering. Let’s compare 2 different cars. A high mpg 4 cylinder compact vs a larger, somewhat thirstier 6 cylinder car. For the smaller compact, you gotta pedal to the metal to get up a hill. It takes much less effort for the larger engined car to achieve the same thing. I was wondering how the gas mileage would compare between the 2 cars in this situation…

Previously some cars had a green “econo” mode button A/C control button which was supposed to save gas. Is there any way to economize fuel without shutting the A/C totally off?

Now iv always head from a lot of people that Manual is more fuel efficient but isn’t that theory outdated? because automatic cars these days will auto shift gear to gear never making you go above 2k rpm’s when driving normally, as where in a manual car most people shift anywhere from 2-4 rpm’s normally, so isn’t automatic really better at saving fuel?

I was thinking of this on my way to work today and it was raining. Of course people were going slower and mostly noticable on the highway. I was thinking well if people drove like this all the time then would I save on gas. So then I thought well if i lived in a place like I live in now but it just rained more then would I save on gas as well as everyone else? Hope this makes sense to everyone. Its just something random that I was curious about.

When I have to sit in traffic, will it save more gas if I put my car in neutral, or in park? I’m not able to turn it off

Given a relatively open road, equal distance, same driving skill etc.
I have heard conflicting advice from people, some saying faster, others slower. Some say it differs on fuel type such as diesel being better slower and petrol vice versa.
I used to believe in the ‘faster theory’ (via intuition) but I’m now conficted.
NB: ignore accidents or safety or being late.
