Putting it in neutral does not put pressure on the engine. Just be aware that you will take extra time to get into gear and accelerate off the line if you notice a huge truck coming towards you.
LOL... just RUN RUN and RUN...

I know some of my mates they do it because they cbf putting their foot on the brakes for a couple of minutes...
what a point put in N on auto (u still have to lightly push brakes), better pu on P and release the brakes
basically, due to the nature of autos, the trans/engine is "stalled up" when you are stationary, and foot on teh brake.
if you are at a stop in a manual, and you put it in gear, release the clutch, but foot on teh brake, you stall.
an auto has a stall/torque convertor. basically transfers the energy from teh engine into the liquid in the stall converter, putting a load on teh engine.
when in neutral, the stall converter isnt active. try it next time youre in an auto. when in neutral, the revs will be at idle. put it in D, and hold the brake on, watch the revs drop slightly. load on teh engine. in stop/start traffic eg city driving, this can use up to 5% more fuel than having it be in N
Put it in neutral if expect to be stationary for awhile. It saves alot more fuel.
when i shift to neutral the engine kinda revs a little, would that use a little more fuel or is that normal as the gears are disengaging and putting no pressure on the engine? does that use fuel?

no not P, just neutral N. just push the lever up to N then abck down to D when i wanna move. i do it all the time in the traffic + handbrake. lets you rest your foot. plus its cool when your in traffic going down on a hill, jus roll down. hehehehe
