I doubt from how it feels that my truck does it, but I have a fuel cut off on the gear shift lever, so its kind of moot for me.
A lot more than coasting, yes.
But a diesel will DFCO further than a gasser because the gasser has a throttle plate. This drags down the speed quickly. I've tried Pulse & DFCO in my diesel yaris and it still improved my mpg, just not as much as Pulse & Glide. That's assuming my SG is reading correctly, which i think it is, after much faffing around and telling it that my engine is a 1.2 not a 1.4........
