I leave the car in gear going down a hill, or I put it in neutral if I want to coast longer (since leaving it in gear causes it to engine brake). I've shut off the engine twice for the same couple-mile stretch just for ***** and giggles.

So it looks like you could "cheat" on your odometer if you're a hard-core hypermiler. Don't blame me, I didn't design this car.
