Hello,
I am new to the whole hypermiling thing. I own a 1996 Geo Metro Lsi Sedan w/ an automatic transmission. I've just had to replace the engine, and I do not want to damage the new one. Can anybody give some tips to save gas w/ an automatic transmission? Is it safe to pulse n glide w/ an automatic transmission ... ie: I'm not talking about turning the engine off. I'd most likely just keep the engine on, but shift down to neutral on hills, etc. I do not want to cause any damage to this new engine. Thanks in advance. I'm enjoying re-learning how to drive. haha. Thanks.
