Seriously, to say that the DCT can do almost what a MT can do in terms of skipping gears and burnouts is such a wannabe statement. And I do like to pop it in neutral when I'm coasting for 1/4 mile. Why waste gas?

Why on earth would you want to coast in neutral??? That doesn't save gas, quite the contrary... When coasting in gear the fuel is shut off (injectors are closed and no fuel injected). Why? Because the drive from the wheels via the transmission is driving the engine. So it does not need fuel to run!
If you put it in neutral you loose the drive from the wheels and the engine needs fuel to run! Coasting in neutral burns gas, coasting in gear saves gas!
