I read somewhere that a transmission should not have any power to move a vehicle when the brake pedal is released.
In other words, while the foot is on the brake, the Rover is still wanting to move forward. One day, from a dead start, in Drive, I released the brake pedal and managed to drive as fast as 10 miles per hour over a mile, before I reached the highway.
Does this tendency to move the vehicle forward account for some of the low gas mileage.
Is a transmission supposed to have a forward motion when the brake is not depressed?
