I use key off, but it won't actually go to the "lock" position while I'm in neutral, so it's OK. It only goes down to the first "on" click, but shuts the engine off, leaving the BCM and PCM powered, and the Odometer still reads off mileage.

I shut my engine off if I'm going to a red light, or pulling into a parking lot. I often get about 100-300 feet at a time of EOC, never much more than that, b/c it's an auto.

Wait until I get that damn 5 speed swap... :evil grin:
