you may have to do some digging, but after searching for my car i discovered that it has a different shift schedule for neutral depending on speed. like, above 8mph it idles at 1000-1200rpm and won't actuate certain solenoids until the speed is below 8mph.

I don't even know what a solenoid is. :-) I was reading the 109 tips just now and do see that it's BAD to turn a car off and coast if it's an automatic transmission, but my engine is indeed on when I coast in neutral. That might be my saving grace. All I need is to get an extra 5 mpg by trashing my transmission...ugh.
Thank you,
