The subject is "The most efficient way to slow down".
Using no fuel is a more efficient way to slow down than using some fuel. So compared to idling your engine in neutral, leaving it in gear is more efficient to slow down.
If the aim was maximizing distance without fuel, then this might not be the case. But the subject is "most efficient way to slow down".
If the subject was to slow down with maximizing the distance you still travel, then this is another story altogether.
