Not all automatics are eco-friendly. I don't remember what I rented (I've rented 5 cars in 10 weeks), but instead of using a button, it had the "move it over and up/down" type of shifter. You had to move the stick to the right and then up to engage Neutral, and then back over and down to engage Drive. Unfortunately, when moving it right and up into Neutral, it was easy to slide it right and up again into Reverse. Fortunately I was only going about 15 mph, and it didn't shift at all. (I got it back into Neutral quickly.)
