Question 1523
When driving downhill, may you shift into neutral to save fuel?
- Yes, because the engine does not use fuel in neutral.
- No, because I could lose control of the vehicle.
- No, because the engine could be damaged.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, because I could lose control of the vehicle.
In neutral, you lose engine braking and rely more on the brakes, which can overheat. This increases the risk of losing control while descending.
