The only experience i had with EOC an Auto was with a rental car. Comming down off a bridge to an exit - shift to N - keyed car off - then back on ( just like the nissan) - engine dies and i coasted probably about 1 mile at about 60 MPH.
near the end i could smell the fluid cooking so i quickly restarted the car - exited and drove on site streets to keep overall speeds down.
Maybe it was the car ( Fusion V6) maybe it was the Speed ( i was at 60) or something else. But i convinced myself NOT to try it again.
