If the car has an automatic transmission, it is normal for the car to gradually slow down.

And the same doesn't happen with a manual transmission ?

Its called engine braking coupled with rolling resistance.

A vehicle with a manual transmission tends to decelerate more quickly than one with an automatic transmission when the accelerator pedal is released.

Vehicles have dashpots (used to be mechanical, now electronic) to prevent the throttle from closing too quickly when the accelerator pedal is released to reduce the jerky motion, make it easier to shift, and reduce emissions.

The cause is that you take out leg from the accelerator. Do not do this!

Remain the leg upon the accelerator at all times, even in school zone at rush hour.

Bad...bad...bad...

I *THINK* what the OP was referring to was his cruise control, perhaps.

No leg required for cruise...

Oh, you are psychoanalysisticintis. Inscrutable.

I bet you do not even have couch.

But leg required for foot, and therefore for shoe. Confucius say: Man with no leg buy very few shoes.

I have futon. Is count?

So the journey of a thousand miles cannot even begin with single foot?
