For a TDI, each time you are in gear and not touching the accelerator (the "diesel pedal"), the ECU cuts fueling. I can see it on my MFA and VAG-COM. The accelerator is not mechanical but drive by wire. I don't know if the hybrids are drive by wire, but if they are, coasting in gear should be more economical than coasting in neutral.

In the manual tranny HCH, coasting "in gear" with the clutch NOT ENGAGED is the best way to go, because it raises the charging bar - whereas coasting with the clutch engaged does nothing for the charging system.....
