This will allow the engine to idle without the added load from the torque converter, thus using less fuel.

Some more advanced vehicles have that feature built in.
To test this stay on the brake and listen for a drop in rpm when you switch from neutral to D. A drop means your torque converter puts a load on the engine and make it work harder than it has to while standing.
