Default tranny coasting ???

quik Q: If I put my automatic trans in netrual going down hill coasting at 65mph.Will it hurt the tranny? I was thinking of doing this and rev matching the engine and the drivetrain before puting it back into drive,Just trying to see how much mpg I can squeeze outta my 4cyl commuter
