The Eco MT has 2 ways of maximizing FE while coasting. Most common is to scale the injector pulse width way back to inject just a tiny amount of fuel. It does have a true DFCO, but it takes a bit of time to engage. The ignition timing on the SGII goes to 40+ degrees when the IPW's are scaled back, then goes to -1 to -7 when it's in DFCO. I've gotten better at forcing DFCO to engage by shifting to a higher gear when going downhill or approaching to a stop sign. It's great to see my average FE leap up on the SGII when it's in DFCO.
