From the Natural Resources Canada website: “Today, most vehicles are equipped with fuel-injection systems that automatically shut off the flow of fuel to the engine when the accelerator is fully released. In this mode, the decelerating vehicle can be thought of as coasting and using no fuel. When the engine speed drops to idle, the injection system restarts the flow of fuel to ensure that the engine doesn’t stall. Coasting to decelerate also reduces wear and tear on your tires and brakes, which in turn reduces your maintenance, repair, and servicing costs.”
