I know this is not aviation related but thought it might get more attention here from people who might know.
I was driving home from work in stop and go. I would get to second gear then go to neutral and brake, thinking that if I engine brake I am wasting gas. But am I?
In a plane when you pull the throttle the engine goes to idle. But in a car, if still in gear, the engine will run down slower, but does fuel flow go to idle or will it decrease with RPMs?
