Rofl, my thoughts exactly. You actually save some gas by rolling in gear since the vehicle does not have to keep a steady idle when you're in neutral.

It shouldn't hurt anything but your gas mileage might go down a little bit. You're effectively idling down a hill and cars get the worst mileage when idling, with the exception of "WFO" throttle
