That is the highest it read but the engine was still running, if for
nothing else to keep the AC going so it was using fuel. It was still a
very small amount when plotted against a speed of 75 or 80..

May just be the engine being driven by the drivetrain.

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.
