Ditto on not EOCing with your automatic. Neutral coast all you want (NICE-ON), and I agree with coasting down to <20 mph to stop signs before hitting the brakes. It takes practice with that. Also you can keep the tranny in neutral at stops until the light changes or it is time to go, then click to Drive. You use more horsepower in Drive while stopped than you will in neutral.
