When I leave the car in Drive, it actually seems to slow the car.
I'll verify this the next time I go into work.
I know for certain that placing the car in N on level ground will allow me to coast at least 175 - 200 yards farther than leaving it in Drive.
( Is there a problem with my transmission ? )

No, you are right.
the transmission holds you back when coasting.
Neutral is better!
