Sorry if this seems a silly subject, but something I've been thinking about and I think others may do it also.
Recently, I've developed a habit of shifting into Nuetral when stopped at traffic lights. Do it every time now whether driving the new Territory or in the old Escape. I noticed in the new Territory that the instant fuel reading drops as soon as I put it in N, so I assume I am reducing consumption as well as load on the gearbox. I do a lot of stop-start peak hour driving, so my question is: am I doing more harm than good to the gearbox by constantly shifting between D and N?
