It will cause the engine to run at a much higher RPM thus burning more fuel. If you are forced to drive like this, I would not exceed 50 mph.

I have a 93 Mazda 626 Does it hurt the automatic transmission to shift to neutral while going downhill and shift back to drive for better gas milage?

It won't hurt. As long as the engine is running the transmission fluid is being circulated, keeping everything lubricated and the fluid cooled. As to if you will actually get better fuel consumption or not, I can't say. Out of gear the engine will use fuel, and in gear it wont. In gear the engine will slow the car down, and out of gear it won't. Which of the two above will give better mileage?

Do you have to put your Jeep Liberty into 4 wheel drive?

To drive it no wouldn't hurt to engage it once in a while driving it to circulate the gear oil (500 feet or so) If you go off road I would recommend it also helps if you get stuck in snow or a ditch its recommended the trans and transfer case be serviced every 30,000 even if you seldom use the transfer case also should service both front and rear differentials
