Maybe since you are running with an automatic transmission you should look into the "deceleration fuel cut off" method of saving a little fuel. Better known here as DFCO. Search on the site for lots of information.
Here is some info I posted a while ago..

While in dfco mode you are using exactly the same amount of gas as having the engine shut off.. none. The coast will not be as long however because your drivetrain is slowing you down more.
