JCP,

You can engine-off coast your Honda if you think it will be worth the risk, bearing in mind that if you turn the key a notch too far, you lock the steering. One click, not two.

Don't try to engine-off coast your Echo. Automatics need to be kept turning by the engine to maintain lubrication.

Aero improvements make P&G work even more, because you get to retain more of the velocity over a longer glide than before, and you need less input energy to overcome aero drag to get back up to gliding speed.
