If I have to use the brakes a lot I'll keep it in 5th and ride the fuel cut, even still, sometimes have to use the brakes. Sometimes I put it in neutral with a hair of throttle so it will idle in leanburn, and if it'll coast more than a mile I'll usually shut it off. That ecu won't let leanburn kick back in until about 15 seconds after startup.
I hope you've removed the steering lock mechanism.
