The vehicle won't start up again while rolling; has to be in Park and foot on break, so it's a no go for pulse & glide.

The brakes are fine for slowing to a stop if you apply them before killing the engine. I've taken to EOC red lights -- Neutral, brake, kill engine, coast/brake to stop; once stopped, put car in Park and ready for start.

(sorry for the OT'ness...)

My car will start in neutral while rolling. The reason I don't do it is because of damage I may be causing and not know about. I'm trying to just change one or two things each tank to see how it affects my mileage.
