When I drive my Buick LeSabre in heavy traffic and take my foot off the gas, the car does not decelerate as well as two other cars I have driven recently, Camry and a Focus. All of these cars are 4-speed automatics. The Buick is a 6 cylinder while the Camry and Focus were both smaller 4 cylinder engines. It helps to drive the Buick in a lower gear while in traffic, but I found I didn't need to do that in the other two cars. Can anyone explain why this is?
