If you have a vehicle with a CVT, "coasting" doesn't work well. I have one (probably won't buy another one with a CVT), and taking the foot off the gas to coast is about the equivalent of gradually downshifting as you slow. I almost got rear-ending a few times before I got the hang of that..lol<br>
