    Coasting in D, pushing the brake, or shifting to B? I realize the best practice is to never come to a complete stop, but aside from that, what is the most fuel efficient strategy for braking?

    In the forum "Fuel Economy" there is a topic named "rookie question: "B" drive". If you read all the posts there I think your questions will be answered, you may have some new ones though.

    I'm going to refer you to another thread where this is under active discussion/debate as well as to the thread at the Yahoo 2G group that was started today on the topic. I'm going to close this thread so that discussion can stay in one place.
