coasting w/ square vehicle?
If you haven't read my very first post on gassavers.org under the "introduce yourself" then I will tell you a little about my vehicle first before I ask my question.
It's a 92 Suzuki Sidekick JS 2 dr convertible w/ 5speed tranny. 187,000 miles and dents all over the body. Even the top is ill fitting!
anyhow, on to my question. With my other car I had a 91 Integra I was able to glide for at least 3/4 of a mile before I had to step on the gas pedal again. On my Sidekick if I tried to glide (starting point at 55mph) I'm down to 45 in less than 5 seconds. If I do this at a slower speed (35mph) I can coast quite a ways.
My truck is a box I know and I can only take a guess at it's CD. Am I out of luck here or I'm I not doing this right? AKA need to speed up to a greater rate prior to gliding....
