Coasting in Neutral (Automatics)

Hey, folks!

Thanks for the reminder to pop into this thread, brucepick.

I've got a question: How many of you who drive Honda automatics use neutral regularly? This topic has appeared in various forms in other threads, but I'm interested in what my fellow Honda drivers think.

I use neutral for coasting and for sitting while stopped (I'll switch off the ignition if I know I'm going to be stopped for more than a minute or so). Since I've started using neutral on the highway, my MPG (as measured by the tank) has increased by about 10%.

Do any of you see potential problems with using neutral the way I use it?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
