I have been there a few times. You can do this with any car(in the past) but if you want to engine brake down a large grade it better be fuel injected. Engine braking with a carburetor is gonna blow your exhaust up as soon as you turn the ignition on. Also engine braking will retain your power brakes whether they are vacuum or hydraulic.

Most new cars are so faggoty you can't even do any of this.

I've rolled into gas stations before after running out of gas. Pretty awesome feeling of relief. This was all moreso when I was younger and broke, only buying gas as needed.

I coast to red lights, no reason to waste gas speeding to a stop. I think people that speed to a stop are idiots. They don't get anywhere any faster by doing that.

Those are my favorite idiots. You're coasting to a red light that's about to change so you don't have to stop and some moron prick speeds around you, gets in front of you, and then has to slam on the brakes which makes you have to stop. If the idiot had more than one or two wrinkles in his prefrontal cortex he would have coasted with you and nobody would have had to hit their brakes, stop, or accelerate again.
