As the others have pointed out, EOC is like towing...without the engine running, there is no pumping of the ATF to lubricate and cool the transmission. Most owns manuals say not to tow for more than X miles at no more than Y mph. You'd have to check yours to see what it says.

Chances are, you'll be fine for brief periods, but is it worth the risk to save a few pennies in gas each time?
