I agree, coasting does work. Modern cars are also very heavy and fitted, generally, with low rolling resistance tyres. I know that my present car coasts far more readily than previous ones; on a test stretch that I use, I now don't have to engaged drive to cover the flat part before the next decent. I find my Chummy reluctant to coast - but the heavier Ruby quite willing.
