Maybe free wheel should be reinroduced to ALL cars. Here's why: the gas savings can be very, very large, and that could make a difference as gas prices continue to rise.
Here's how I know: I have a Nissan 1991 small pickup truck. I was getting a combined 25 mpg by carefully accelerating and keeping highway speeds at 65. Highway mpg was 30. Then I decided to coast every chance I get by putting my standard transmission in neutral. Now I get a combined 30 mpg - which means I get 30 mpg in both highway and local driving. That's a 20% increase.
I'd like to know why this system had a tendency to break. Is there a way to fix it? How much extra did it cost?
