Newbie with some questions about changing driving

I just started reading stuff on here about hypermiler and whatnot so I am wondering how to do some of this stuff. Btw, I have an automatic transmission 97 Cutlass Supreme that averages 24-26 mpg.

First of all, is pulse and glide just for hybrids? Secondly, with that you are putting it in neutral AND actually turning the car off (thus losing the power steering, power brakes, and whatnot)?

Also, is it good (good FE + not bad on the car) to put it in neutral and coast to stop or is putting it in neutral meaningless with the engine still on? Keep in mind I have an automatic trans.
