DO NOT put it into nuetral until someone confirms that the pump continues to supply enough PSI and volume when in nuetral. I've had friends who have burned up their bearings doing this or towing an automatic in nuetral.
What I mean is letting go of the gas and leaving it in "OD". Mine coasts for a long time sustaining it's speed. Got the idea from the other vehicles in the stable. Caddie says 80mpg when coasting (Northstar) and Benz says 85-90mpg coasting. BUT they dont' continue for as long and lose speed much faster and then need to give it gas.
