I normally always shut off my engine unless I'm going up a hill and know it'll be a very short time until I need to turn it back on again.

Hypermiling is really just a general term. It means is to consistently get above EPA rated mileage for your vehicle. How you achieve that is up to you. Its easily doable in an automatic. What you are referring to is the pulse and glide technique.
