Neat to see that you've been doing this already. (I turn off the engine at railroad crossings too.) The neutral thing does make sense since the engine doesn't have to churn the ATF in the torque converter, but I didn't think it would save so much fuel, and of course it varies from vehicle to vehicle. I have a feeling that the savings are higher in my 1997 900 S which has to rev quite high at idle in Drive. I'll check when I get that car up here in Minnesota where I just moved.
