Crushing on a teammate..?

If you put the transmission into neutral while the car is rolling at cruising speeds the engine will drop to it's lowest rpm or idle speed as the throttle plates drop down to the position where they bring in the least amount of fuel measured in cubic feet per minute with the existing 14.7 pounds per square inch of atmospheric pressure, and the atomic mass is altered by temperature and altitude. The engine will also be breathing at a higher vacuum, and you will conserve more fuel than if you were running at high engine revolutions per minute. Of course there is a lot more involved into this equation of fuel conservation for a normally aspirated V-8 internal combustion engine, but i'm not going to give away all the good racing trade secrets, because I am no ones teacher. But otherwise I say "Hell yeah! Let's go out there and crush 'em!"
