Which/what TECHNIQUES one should adopt for AUTO TRANSMISSION

I am a keen hypermiller and get 17-18km/kg average from my 2004 XLI running on CNG and driving it in karachi city with 70% a/c. Now i am thinking of buying an AUTO TRASMISSION car, but not sure that techniques like putting the car into neutral etc are how workable in AUTO cars

with general hypermilling and a well tuned cng, i was able to get 16km/kg on my civic vti... that too on 60% ac on that was my best ever avg. Drove in isb + a trip or two to rawalpindi

I use most of the hypermiling techniques and they are really very useful.

2012 Corolla GLI - 14.5km/l on Motorway at speed of 110-120 km/h its only 2400 km driven by now and I have read a few posts which mention that its average improves with its usage.

2003 Civic EXi Manual - Usually I get 15 km/kg without AC in city driving. About 14.5-15 km/l on highway at speed of 100-110 km/h. Currently trying to get the average on petrol in city driving and I will mention it soon.

Toyota Landcruiser, 1989 model, 3980cc, 6-cylinder, diesel engine, 7-7.5 km/l in city and 10 km/l on GT Road at a speed of 90-100 km/h.

The average which I get with my cruiser amaze me alot mashallah.

I tried this technique with my Honda City 2011 automatic transmission. The average on my speedometer has improved and from getting around 8.8-9.2 KM/Litre, I am now getting around 12.1-12.5 KM/Litre in high traffic areas of Karachi.

All I am doing now is staying below 2000 RPM and coasting.

However, I have one question. Is changing the automatic gear to neutral while in motion bad for the car in anyway? I know this has been discussed before in this thread but there seems to be a conflict of opinion. Is it okay for my gearbox if I am switching to neutral in order to coast or should I ideally avoid it?

Also can anyone please recommend the ideal air pressure for the tires in a Honda City 2011? The side-door air pressure is 30 (rear) 32 (front) I think. But when I mentioned this to a friend, he said it's not correct and that I should be having 28 (rear) and 30 (front). What's the normal agreed air pressure for this model?

i was wondering how you were coasting in auto transmission
shifting it to neutral while driving n then again to D will ruin your gear box for saving few $$ n u might end up spending more $$

I do it on my nissan B310
but when I switch off the engine while moving down, I feared alot coz once I did it and I turn off the switch till steering lock, just escape a BIG accident !!

Its manual

EXI manual 2003 getting 12.5 km/l in city without AC however my city driving hardly encounters 2-3 signals as I live in suburbs of Lahore towards Bahria Town.

My brother in law recently bought a Civic Reborn 2006 MT, 74000 driven on petrol, its giving 12km/l with 50% AC on, on the same above mentioned route.

It seems Reborn is giving good mileage although its 1800cc.

never turn off the engine while driving coz brake will not work properly on engine off.
