Default Re: 'pulse and glide' tips

I know this is in the impossible pile, but theoretically couldn't someone make a mod to deactivate the "tranny drag" effect. The car doesn't need to go into green arrow mode when you let off the gas, they just wanted to give it the feel of an automatic transmission, just like the "tranny creep", the car doesn't actually need to creep ahead when you take the foot off the brake. I would like to see that as a feature of future model years, part of an "eco" mode maybe, to always allow easy pulse and glide. Every time you take the foot off the gas, you just glide as far as you can, hindered only by rolling friction and air resistance.
