It's called deceleration fuel cut off.

Depami, I've got to ask. WHAT is the problem with your, "POS 2014" ?

AND, w h y the loss of faith in FORD?

When I replaced my ’91 with the ’01 I was immediately impressed and satisfied. I liked everything about the ‘01 better than the ’91.

Now I traded my ’01 for this ’14 and so far I haven’t found anything about the ’14 that I like better than the ’01 and there are several things about the ’01 that I like better than the ’14.

But, it’s only been two days so I’m sure I will learn to like it.

Ford still ticks me off with the way they package options and features and make changes that I don’t think are for the better.

This is just stupid. I don't suppose you have a f1fdy boys sticker on your windshield.

With all due respect, I understand the switching from one vehicle to another. I agree, that some of the packages, are in a sense a confusing dilema.

However, maybe you should have had a few trucks pulled up next ot each other, at the dealership, and compared them. That's what I do. My dealer doesn't have a problem doing that. Where it may NOT be the complete answer, if it fails, at least I had the opportunity to see for my self.

Also, I guess I'm lucky, my dealer knows me, and he kinda knows what I want/expect. He knows my line of work, and how much time I spend in my truck.We have LONG discussions over ooptions/option packages !!

I hope you get to "love your truck".

Coasting in neutral is basically running at idle levels fuel consumption.

Coasting in drive goes into deceleration fuel cut that is zero or near zero fuel consumption. This is primarily to protect your cats, since on deceleration the throttle plate closes leading to low oxygen and incomplete burn of any fuel injected. But it also saves fuel and uses less than coating in neutral. If you can feel engine braking, you are probably in deceleration fuel cut, though it isn't universally true.

Your technique has probably costed you gas over the years, not saved it. This has been on cars for a long time. Though I can't guarantee it was on your old truck, it probably was.

Any scan guage can show injector pulse width in real-time.

If someone is coasting in neutral on the highway to save gas, they probably bought the wrong vehicle. Lol

We compared side by side multiple things, including a 8' bed vs. a 6.5 vs. a 5.5, ensuring that we wanted the 6.5. Then compared consoles, i.e. the fold down seat in an XLT, vs. the console that we'd get if it came w/o the seat (height-wise, compared it in an SXT to see if it was lower (it was) then the fold-down seat top. Also played with the tailgate step and bar to verify we wanted that. Brought home an XLT to test garage fit. Compared Supercab and Supercrew side by side as far as doors go, how far they open, space needed.

Based on the "maximum MPG people", this isn't true. I wish I could remember what they call themselves, but neutral coasting is one of their mainstays...along with aerodynamic body panels and full undercarriage skid plates, lol.
Those fruit loops are worse than the F15dy Boyz when it comes to MR looking mods.
