Default Neutral Coasting?
Does coasting to a stop in neutral save more gas than just simply taking your foot off the gas and getting some regen?

My instant FE meter shows that I am actually using more gas when I put the Civic in neutral and coast. ie. the L/100klm goes off the chart (maximum).

Whereas taking my foot off the gas drops the FE meter to 0 L/100klm with some regen.

What's going on?
