I did some of these things in a ’90 honda civic automatic 1.6L. It usually gets around 33, I pulled 36-37 a few tanks. Then I got tired of it and just paid the extra 5$ at the pump. I also drove as fast as I could everywhere, got 28mpg.

“This technique allows you to exit by rolling forward in neutral without turning on the engine, thereby saving gas.”

I would not recommend driving a vehicle with the motor turned off. No engine power means no power assist for brakes and steering. You may get a couple of pumps out of the brakes without the engine running, but give it a try and tell me how stepping on a brick feels like!

Plus, most power steering systems are not happy campers when the hydraulic pump is not spinning. Even modern electric steering systems do not power on unless the engine is running.
