Hi,

I just heard about Hypermiling yesterday. I had no idea! I thought I had no options in getting better MPG but now I see a few good techniques. My question is on the Pulse and Glide thang...

I have a 1997 Civic automatic transmission.
What is the difference (in gas savings) between P&G in neutral with the car being on & off? I ask because I'd rather not turn the car off while I'm driving. just because it's a pain. Does the car have to be turned off to get better gas mileage using P&G? Or will being in Neutral save gas?

thanks!
