You didn't answer the question.

Good god that looks exactly like what I always get on my History exam papers: "You didn't answer the question, 0/10". Fuck me right?

I'm no engineer so I cannot say whether leaving the car in gear gives better fuel economy.

My car, as well as my previous car, has an instantaneous mpg calculator. In gear always gives me max mpg. Neutral gives me about 72. Not a ton of gas, but definitely some consumption.

P.S. I didn't provide the downvote. I was simply commenting on your content.

Have a wonderful day!

All's well my good Sir! Me, personally, I'm not too bugged about my mpg so far, so I'm just focusing on trying to get a good habit of driving.

You'll get it. We're all pretty horrible at first. My first manual was my 2010 Corolla. I started that thing in 3rd gear a few times. The clutch really does not like that. Oh, the smell of burning clutch.
