Driving down hill in neutral that is coasting is not good. First it reduces your control of the vehicle as you have no engine braking effect which in turn increases reliance on the wheel brakes which can cause them to overheat. Secondly the engine will revert to idle in neutral which requires it to burn fuel, when going down hill in gear the ECU detects this and virtually stops fuel supply, the effect may be small but it does increase mpg.

Your US gallon figure converts to nearly 35 mpg in Imperial measures, which is better.
I often achieve 45 mpg but that is on smooth tarmac, change up quickly through the gears and keep speeds low.

Great theory, but in practice coasting in neutral uses less fuel.Driving down hill in neutral that is coasting is not good.

My very standard gen 4 still achieving a lifetime average of over 42mpg (UK). No motorways near me but otherwise regular A & B road driving. I rarely cane it though.
