I am new to this hypermiling, I have an 06' Toyota corolla S. Is this bad aero dynamically speaking? It has the spoiler and ground fx. I would assume lowering it would help. It's a five speed manual. I have heard it could damage the transmission if you roll in neutral with the motor off, does any one know for sure? I also read not to idle in neutral while rolling but to leave it in a high gear without lugging. Wouldn't it be better to idle because the rpms are lower?

Thanks for all your help I will post my first tank of newbie hypermiling mpgs after I fill the tank.
