A bit more reading today, and this seems to be a very common issue. One "expert" article even indicated that there really isn't a fuel loss from keeping the transmission engaged as the momentum will keep the engine running and not the fuel. Said they had oscilloscope readings across the injectors to show they basically weren't firing. (sounds like bunk to me though).
