100,000 miles on the family Odyssey ('04) and whenever I drive it (~1/3 of the miles?) I'm constantly in and out of N. I mean multiple times per mile. That's how I can get the 23 mph highway van to return 30 mpg for our recent 3,000 mile summer vacation trip. Without the constant N coasting, it might do 26 or so.

As per the manual's towing instructions, I don't engine-off coast above 35 mph. Below that I do unless there's a good reason not to. (Kid's DVD playing, family requires AC, etc)
