logo20 is an unknown quantity at this point
</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Incidentally, leaving it in gear while braking to a gradual stop also saves a little gasoline. &nbsp;When you are decelerating in gear, foot off the gas, the momentum of the car is actually driving the engine instead of the other way around, and it uses even less fuel than it does at idle.
</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

so the engine uses more gas at idle and less gas in gear when coming to a stop? &nbsp;if that's what he means, it doesn't make sense to me.
