"From the darkness, sleeping light." Formerly luminus dormiens. Lux pacis, light of peace.

I just learned that you shouldn't put your car in neutral when you are coasting on the freeway. The reason is that by leaving your car in Drive mode, the car's engine will run from the movement of the car, requiring little gasoline. However, by putting your car in neutral, the engine must continue to run idle mode, which would require more gas because the the speed of the car is not running the engine, so the engine must run itself.
