Abosolutely!!!! At the end of the trip you would still have a full tank. You would get roughly 99,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 MPG... with only one catch - the trip distance would have to be 0 miles or less, as the vehicle cannot move in neutral.

Let me correct that though, in one situation it would actually move If you would arrange for your entire route to be downhill, you would get unlimited gas mileage without ever starting the engine!!
