Does my car have fuel cut while engine braking? (1994 Honda Civic LX 1.5L MT)

I've been pondering the subject of engine brake vs. neutral coasting, and I can't find any definitive information to help me decide which side of the fence I stand on.

With the 100 miles I've put on since the last fill-up, I can already tell a huge MPG improvement using a lot of engine braking (something I've never done before as I *thought* it was wasteful) based on my fuel needle's position in relation to the F mark of the gauge. One of the most common thing I've seen come up in the engine brake vs. neutral coasting debate is whether or not your vehicle is EFI or carb'd, and whether or not your EFI has fuel cut or not.

My question is: does anyone know if my 1994 Honda Civic LX 1.5L MT has the capability to cut fuel when engine braking?
