On the matter of shutting off your ignition while rolling...I just thought I'd mention that in addition to the stupidity and danger of the act, it's also illegal. And as someone mentioned, when you're in gear, and your foot's off the gas, you're using zero fuel... The injectors turn off, and your wheels keep the engine turning.
