Definitly turn the ignition back on once the engine has idled down. If you don't your airbag computer doesn't recognize your actually moving and won't deploy in the event of an accident. EOC (combined with pulse and glide) is a very common technique with more advanced hypermilers and is probably one of the main tools in seeing that really high mileage. Keep it up and your mileage will definitly show it.
