If you're NICE coasting v. EOC, you burn about .25 gal/hr. In a 1 minute NICE coast, that's .25/60, or .0042 gal. you consume. Let's say you were getting 25 mpg for a 25 mile drive, and coasted one last mile into your driveway. You consumed exactly one gallon on your drive until the coast. I know you're not coasting at 60 mph, but let's use that 1 minute NICE coast, and assume it's a mile, just for argument's sake.
EOC, you use no fuel, and get 26 mpg.
NICE-on, you use 1.0042 gal to go the 26 miles, and get 25.89 mpg. It's a lot closer to 26 mpg than to 25 mpg - really almost unmeasurable.
