Sorry, but you are wrong about coasting in gear. When you coast in gear, you do consume gas. If you didn't, your engine would stop running. The amount of fuel is indeed much less, but the engine is still burning fuel while coasting in gear. Even an engine driven by the wheels burns gas.
a quick install of an air/fuel ratio gauge will prove you wrong.
