Don't coast an auto trans with the engine off. Doing so will damage some auto transmissions because the trans fluid pump shuts off. You can coast with the engine on in neutral quite safely. I have seen the aero drag for your car listed as 0.30 which if true is a little better than a Civic coupe (0.32), but not very close a Prius (0.25, I think).

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
