This is my only point. There is some amount of fuel being used while coasting in gear, regardless of how little.
And that is incorrect. With the majority of modern cars (possibly all of them), the injectors are turned off when coasting in gear. The engine becomes an air pump. There's no reason why you would need to be burning any fuel - the engine is kept running by the driveline.
