I agree with you on every count.
If you're in a hypermiling competition every ounce of gas matters. Otherwise it's not worth the trouble. There's another issue with the HCH II. When you shift to neutral the ICE powers back up. So there's a loss which you have to make up, both before FAS and when you come out of FAS.
