Correct answer
No, because I may lose control of the vehicle.
Travelling in neutral is not correct either for safety or for saving fuel. In neutral, the engine runs at idling speed, which requires fuel to prevent it from stalling, so it does consume fuel. In addition, in neutral we may lose control of the vehicle because it will be more difficult to stop. The correct way to descend slopes is to use low gears without accelerating; the engine then helps to hold the car back and we also use no fuel.
