One thing I've already noticed is that coasting on neutral appears to be worse than coast in gear. Engine load is 30% on neutral versus 15% in gear above 35 mph. I've always coasted on neutral and if this uses up more gas.... wow.
make sure you still get your mpg from the pump, before the calibration on my ultra-gauge it showed 28-29mpg but at the pump i got 22.5mpg so until its calibrated it'll give u a rough estimate telling you if your mpgs should be high or not
