It is burning zero gas, but you have to overcome the engine drag. By shifting to neutral and turning off the engine, there is no engine drag and no gas being burned. Toyota hybrids are very different and FASing is not necessary, and sometimes not even possible.

If you haven't done it before, make sure you read up on the topic well first.

I'm not sure what the record is, but there is a tank of 941 in the database.
