This addresses a lot of the questions about vehicle and transmission specifics for hypermiling the best you can with an auto.

Top 3 ideas I saw:
1. Dont key off, or EOC
2. D to N for coasting should be fine (be mindful not to put it in reverse!)
3. Get a UG or SG to find out spots and wasy to optimize when your TC locks and when you are on DFCO in your car
