new to EOC

I have started doing some eco on my daily drive. I have eoc'd 13 miles on a 53 mile run. I wonder if I'm just blowing fuel through the engine. I pull it out of gear at the top of hill and sometimes on the flat and coast, kill the engine with the key then turn it back to on and coast and pop the clutch at about 20, starts easy. Coast from 45-35 down to 20. Then I check the miles on the scangauge with the Odometer. I can get 8 miles on the way in, more downhill. About 5 on the way home.. I did it some on the last 2 days of my last tank and saw improvement, so decided to try a whole tank. I have very little traffic so it is usually no problem with other vehicles. I have thought of leaving the key off until just ready to start again thinking this would shut down the fuel pump, but it also kills the odometer , but I already know the exact miles, so no problems, Any suggestions. I have basically replaced coasting engine on with eoc and added some flat country eoc.
