You're not saving gas by selecting neutral at speed because these engines run by computer-controlled fuel injection and not a carburetor. Fuel flow is shut off upon total deceleration whereas a carb will continue to meter fuel as long as there's manifold vacuum.

I dont completely drive like that. But sometimes when i need to turn i just go on neutral... brake.. then 2nd-3rd gear.. not all the time. But when i do.. thats when i remember that my car shuts off lol. MAN!!! is there a fix to this problem!!! i really want to keep that CAI.
