Good Morning folks,

Regardless of any fuel savings to be realized or any mechanical wear and tear, there is a safety reason to not disengage the transmission.

There are three ways to avoid an impending collision; change course, slow down, or speed up. Those three elements are the only inputs into the system that the driver controls. Why would you willfully remove one-third of the ability to avoid a collision?
