Sigh. Some hills are insufficient to overcome engine compression,
especially at high speeds. Gravitic acceleration < drag deceleration
+ engine compression deceleration.
JFC, do you guys even OWN cars?

Dude, please just shut the **** up. Go find a minor decline and drive
down it in gear versus not. Find one where being in gear slows you
down and being in neutral doesn't. This should not be hard to find at
ALL.
