Wen you R at stop light or whenever you come to a stop while driving, does it save any gas shifing to neutral?

no and If your that worried about it don’t roll down the windows. it will effect your MPG.

How would putting the car in neutral while you’re stopped save any gas whatsoever?

Criusing or or deccelerating in neutral puts the engine in Idle wich uses more gas than you think. Slowing down in gear uses compression to keep the engine turning and not combustion so uses no gas. Downshifting uses less gas.learn to rev match to save your clutch.

Actually, it’s quite the opposite. Most cars idle higher in neutral than they do in drive, so you’d actually be using more gas if you put the car in neutral.

Putting it in Neutral will actually cause the RPM’s to go up. The higher RPM’s… the more gas you burn.

For a car with an automatic transmission, you will save a small amount of gas when stopped when you’re in neutral or park, as being in drive there will be a small amount of power going to the transmission, and the engine’s computer will have to increase the idle slightly, thusly using more fuel to compensate for this.

Is it worth it? I don’t think so. Not unless you really need to save a tiny waft of fuel, or are going to be at a light for more than five minutes or so.

Thats what they say. My Fiance seems to think so!!! Havent run out of gas yet!!!

Only if you are stop for more than 15 sec. less stress on the motor.

In an automatic, there is no savings, possibly even an increase in consumption. In a standard, you shift to neutral to save the throw-out bearing from premature failure.
