I have a Honda Civic Hybrid with automatic transmission (Continuously Variable Transmission).
I frequently go over two large bridges.
I have been experimenting with cresting the bridge at the lowest safe speed, 30 miles per hour, then I pop the transmission into neutral and coast down.
My speed gets up to about 70 miles per hour at the bottom of the bridge.

This apparently gives me better MPGs but I'm concerned about two things.
1. Is popping the transmission into neutral while moving going to strip the gears. (Opps there are no gears, uhmmm strip the belt? or harming or prematurely wearing down something else?)
Then, of course, I have to pop it back into gear while moving - when I do this the RPMs will be very low (about 500 or so) should I rev it up to 1200 or so before putting it into drive?

2. I am not charging the battery on the way down the bridge.
So will this be bad for my battery.
Or, will the battery just need more charging later and compensate the the better MPGs I thought I was getting?

Need fewer troops to support.
Drive a hybrid.
Best tank 71.65 MPG.

Before this car I spent two years learning hypermiling on my 2004 HCH1.
