A method for running of a vehicle having a combustion engine which can selectively be connected to a driveshaft () for propulsion of the vehicle, the vehicle can be run in a first mode (M) with the engine connected to the driveshaft () and in which fuel supply to the engine is substantially shut off, in a second mode (M) with the engine disconnected from the driveshaft () and a third mode like the first mode, but with the fuel supply not cut off.
