I don't go higher in speed just to pop it in neutral, but whenever I am on a steady downhill road or coming to a stop, I put it in neutral and just coast. Whenever the light turns green, or it's time to accelerate again, just pop it back down in drive.

It definitely helps your fuel economy in my opinion.

Not to be debbie downer but it is technically illegal in many states to use neutral while driving. If you were rear ended or hit and the cars computer recorded you in neutral your in trouble.

I'm not in a business that takes risks like that so I'll apply the same concept to driving
