Turning off the Ignition before in Park???

mines like 550 rpm vs. 700.

My Tahoe has an issue with the idle senser so its a differance from 800 to 1500 RPM. I was just going off of the average, remember every car will be different depending on the weather, make, and the ECU (or carb jets if your old school //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif)

My ride doesn't have Park. WTF is this shit?

 

[mbaoo]

The only thing I do to save on gas is put it in neutral on downhill stretches on the freeway.

I can usually coast for a mile or two while still going to speed of traffic.

That's what I'm sayin!

Now, DON'T take your foot off that third pedal before you turn off the ignition. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

My rpms drop too low //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Sometimes I think my truck is just going to shut off.

I have a Stick so I shut it off as I roll into the driveway.

In the summer I can shut it off a few hundred feet away and coast to my house.

Breaking the law is awesome huh.

only differance is the engine will idle at about 800 RPM instead of about 950-1100 RPM.. not a huge differance. This also only works on auto's. Us who drive manuals, it doesnt matter.

basically the car's engine is running while your shifting into park....this is just saying to turn it off and then shift to park...

engines generally idle higher in park. Thus turning it off in drive keeps the RPM's lower, and as a result saves .000001 gallons. Big save.

Idling higher doesn't mean more gas is used. There is less friction/stress on the engine in park but I believe it uses the same amount. Just because RPMs go up doesn't mean that more gas is used necessarily.

If you turned your vehicle off b4 it was in park, you would save the .5 seconds worth of gas it takes you to put in park.
