Coasting

Coasting refers to a state where a vehicle's engine runs without the driver actively pressing the accelerator, often with the transmission in neutral or the clutch disengaged. This allows the vehicle to glide forward using momentum, relying on existing speed rather than engine power. Coasting can help improve fuel efficiency by reducing engine workload, but it reduces driver control over acceleration and deceleration. It's commonly used to save fuel or reduce engine wear, especially on downhill slopes. However, safety considerations are important, as coasting may decrease responsiveness in certain driving situations.
