Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General coast or stay in gear when stopping??

I do both, depending on traffic and other conditions. I often knock it out of gear when slowing to a stop, but not usually until I'm traveling under about 40 mph. I would guess that I kick it out of gear about half the time or a little more. My brakes still last a long time. I don't think it makes any significant difference in fuel consumption.
