Obviously that depends on the speed you're coasting at, but with a warm engine, you'd be looking at anything from 0.5L/100km (@ 100kph - or 0.5L /h at idle) to 1L/100km around 40-50 kph, and more as you slow down further.
Extending the glide is fine with the engine off, the further you roll, the more efficient it is.
But with the engine on, coasting becomes less and less efficient as you slow down. As it's also more of a nuisance to other drivers when you go painstakingly slow, I tend not to coast much below 30kph / 20mph - unless in 30mph zones.
