 hypothetically - turning off your car as you cost downhill and then turning it back on at the bottom would save the most gas. |

Actually I am going to say it is a bad practice on a few reasons.
1. You never tow an automatic with wheels on the ground in neutral- The trans pump is not pumping vital fluid for cooling. Coasting in neutral would simulate the same conditions, causing excess heat (#1 AT destroyer). 2. Delay in power if you need to gain speed for any reason $.02 YMMV
