If you engine off coast, then the engine is only working to get you to speed, so the amount of fuel used to get you there is the major factor in MPG, aero being second (first if you go about 50 MPH). hard fast acceleration tend to be at the ~80 load where the engine is most efficient. so your example sounds about right.
I would stop just short of red line though
