Now if the officers so positioned are lesbians...never mind.

A diesel without a Jake or other compression assistance might sound 
different but won't make much engine braking.

An Otto might not sound much different but the braking difference in or 
out of gear will be significant.

The whole 'coasting in neutral' thing mattered maybe back in a day when 
brakes were FAR poorer than the modern norm.  Wouldn't be surprised to 
find many modern hybrids effectively shut off the engine and just use 
all that downhill for regen.

The Aisin/Toyota/Ford FWD hybrid transaxle design is so beautifully 
simple...as long as the electronics work.  I think every Ford C-Max in 
the country migrated to California as soon as gas hit $4.50.  Love to 
find one...

John.
