Personally .. I wouldn't be messing with an Automatic transmission much ... as in order to save yourself a few bucks in gas, you may wreck a very expensive transmission. Standard transmissions are a different animal.

If I had an automatic transmission .. I would take my foot off the gas and use DFCO as much as I could but leave the car in gear to lessen the wear on the transmission.
