I think I remeber the show Laura, wasn't it the one were he drove the Audi A8 to Scotland and back on one tank of fuel. From what i remember he said that the bit where you roll up to a t-junction or traffic lights in gear but with no foot on the gas is free but if you are in neutral with the engine running the engine has to use a little fuel to stop it from cutting out.
