In my Paseo, I P&G with the engine off while I'm gliding. This gets me my 60+ mpg that you see in my fuel logs. Without that, just cruising in top gear its very hard to get close to 50 mpg.
I almost never coast down hills in gear. If I know I'm going to gain a ton of speed going down a hill, I make sure to crest the hill at a lower speed so as not to be going too fast by the bottom of the hill. If I'm unfamiliar with the area and start going too fast down a hill I will put it in 5th gear to slow the car and also cut fuel. However, that is not as good as neutral coasting.
