Not likely since it was out of gear, hence "coasting". I am not even
sure the Chrysler has a rear pump in the transmission.
In 1986 I am not sure the EFI was all that smart anyway.

My cars coasting in neutral do not get 99 mpg these days.

How long did you coast?
This was off the Skyway bridge so I was able to maintain 70-75 for
well over a mile maybe close to 2.
As soon as you put it back in gear the mileage came down pretty fast.
It was still in the high 20s tho driving at that speed on the flat.
It was one of my favorite cars, as unlikely as that may seem.
.

My cars show 99 if coasting downhill or backing on on the highway. Put in
neutral and see 60-70 mpg. Hill is some of those things you saw in NZ.
Not in Florida. ;(

That is why I needed the bridge. Maybe there is something that makes
your car use more gas. I only know what I saw and I did it many times.



Gee, I wonder how many MPGs my garden tractor would get coasting down
that bridge? I think it is an 18 hp twin cylinder engine.

No, but it will outrun your aging pig of a motorcycle and, of course,
your monster truck up to 88 mph, and when the flux capacitors kick in,
you're several time zones in the rear.

Well, I'll admit my 26 year-old Moto Guzzi is probably much slower than that

'twin Volvo diesel powered trawler' down there?

No, Johnny, the car is "stored" in the garage, and the boat is stored at
the marina. The bike does spend the winter in the basement storage room,
though. Rode it past the navy rec center yesterday and over the bridge,
but saw no brown stains in the water, so I figured you were elsewhere.

Does it have a flow meter, speedometer and a computer analyzing the
results?

I doubt it will return the MPG of my Honda when it is actually running
around the yard. My 18HP tractor uses more than a GPH and I doubt it
goes much more than 15 MPH with the deck off.

That is one of the EPA complaints about small engines on lawn
equipment. They are huge polluters and not very efficient, compared to
a modern car. The 2 strokes on weedeaters and chainsaws are even
worse.



I have the Kawasaki Dual Chamber Flux Capacitor Engine in my garden
tractor and have no need for those gauges...there's an *app* for that!

I recall reading in the manual that the tractor is geared for a maximum
speed of 7 mph, or something like that.
