I read your post like 5 times again.

So you turn the ignition off and leave the entire car off so that the odometer does not "register" the miles traveled due to the possibility of CT taxing you on miles driven?

If that's the case, then you can still turn the ignition off...but just be sure to put the car in neutral so that you don't ruin your transmission.

Also, since you are "tricking" the odometer to register less miles than actually traveled, you're not concerned with "actual" miles traveled for mpg calculation purposes?
