I'm experimenting with the exact same technique in my CVT. I'll see how it goes. Raised the tire pressure to 45 (up from 40) to see if that helps too. I also like using neutral over a reboot to coast, and I'm finding new places to use it. I've found places to use pulse and glide - I speed up to what traffic will allow, drop it in neutral and see how far I can coast before having to repeat (also without becoming a traffic hazard - so I really only pull this off when I'm alone). I'm amazed at how far a civic will coast like that on 45 psi. :-) Good luck with your efforts!
