When you're in gear with no throttle above 900 RPM you are using NO fuel. You're calling it a waste of fuel.
"Part of the time" is meaningless. If you have a mpg gauge, you'll see that you get infinite mpg every time you let off the gas, and less than 9 mpg every time you accelerate from a stop. MPG only makes sense as an average. I've had too many instances when I seemed to have got exceptional FE on a particular tank, only to find out that the next tank was exceptionally bad. It's a measuring error that has to do with how fuel tanks are constructed. |

LOL, that sounds like Amway... Is that an Amway product?

I got 72 from Portland to Seattle in my VX last summer. Lower 70s are pretty average for me on that trip. 63 is impressive but lose the Amsoil and maybe you'll break 70 :p Save a few bucks too

Please don't call people "Amsoil trolls" when they aren't posting links to where you can buy directly from them.
Amsoil has plenty of solid testing evidence for increasing mileage and protecting engines. I can tell you from personal experience I've seen incredible gains that people tell me cannot happen for any reason. 36 MPG highway in a 1998 Nissan Frontier King Cab 4 cylinder, for instance, and 26 is EPA sticker. Granted, it was no A/C, tailgate down, 55 MPH, between the Canadian border and Los Angeles (almost all very flat), but still, I did the same things - neutral downhill (and that can be 5-10 minutes at a time, in excess of 70 MPH downhill) whenever possible, on a route I am totally familiar with, and easy on the uphills. It helps to have a rock-steady foot, and listening to the engine not to give it too much gas up hills, but it can indeed happen. As for wear - try 35,000 miles between oil changes with Amsoil. That's my average, and on my current CRX I plan on installing the remote filter. A hefty investment, but the oil gets "gradually" changed - remove one of two 1-quart filters, and add a quart when you change it. I know a guy personally who has gone over a million miles on his Jeep and never had the engine rebuilt, using Amsoil. |
Another one I don't see anyone talking about here is Slick 50. Maybe there's better stuff out there now, but in the early 90's I was a poor college student. The oil pump was shot on the Buick, the bearings were shot, and the oil pressure light came on when traveling under 20 mph. I poured a bottle of Slick 50 into the crankcase and drove it with the oil pressure light on for a couple of years until I could afford a new engine.
