Thanks man!
Looking quickly online, it seems your xB can't be flat towed, so don't glide with the engine off. You'll damage the tranny. Keep the engine on and you'll be fine. To confirm this, check under dinghy towing in your owner's manual.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
