No, I thought about it when I made the code. When you shutdown the engine, you have to re-put the key in the "ON" mode (else the ECU can not talk, obviously). So even with the engine off, the OBDuino will continue to accumulate distance because VSS will still answer. I tested it on down slopes, it works.

EOC can be accomplished in non-hybrids as well simply by shifting to neutral and switching the key from "Run" to "Acc" (being careful not to switch to "Off" and cause the steering to lock). As soon as the engine stops, return the key to the "Run" position so the odometer continues to count distance traveled and you're ready for a re-start.
