I must disagree with you here. First of all, coasting downhill in neutral is somewhat dangerous, and it eats up brake pads a lot more.
Also, when you cost IN gear, you consume 0 gas, because your engine is driven by the "wheels".
However, if you coast NOT in gears but in neutral. You are actually consuming gas. The engine has to inject a small amount of gas into the engine in order to keep the engine spinning, or else the engine will stall.
Do correct me if I'm wrong though.
