You could say it's a safety issue too. Say you're on the brakes decelerating when suddenly you need to accelerate to avoid something. If you're engine braking in addition to regular brakes, all you need to do is get off brakes onto gas and you're going. If you're coasting in neutral you need to get back into gear, which is why it's dangerous to use "Mexican overdrive" (who coined that term?) with auto trans.
ANyway, take the driving class! I've been auto-xing for years, but am finally taking my first class next week! Being where we are, we don't have much opportunity.
