“Shifting into neutral in an automatic will cancel fuel cutoff. Thus, it is better to remain in gear and let the drive wheels pull the engine airflow down to where fuel cutoff can be enabled or where fuel flow is minimized.”

Old Mechanic pegged it, I think. The C&D author seems to be missing the point about the difference between coasting to a stop and coasting for distance.
And yes, it is very strange how they show a manual shift SIX speed (by the look of it?) -- the layout people are not thinking?
