Coasting downhill in 5th gear @ 90km/h nets me about 125ish mpg. Coasting down the same hill in neutral at 90km/h gets me about 200+mpg according to the ecometer. I don't doubt that the results are quite similar when coasting/decelerating to a stop at a red light. This is from the 2ZR-FE 1.8L w/5spd stick common to the 09+ Vibe/Corolla/Matrix/XD.

The benifit of coasting in neutral is saving the clutch, which many can attest to, is a lot more expensive then replacing your brake pads!!!
