It's called engine braking. When you're in gear and take your foot off the gas and the engine slows the car down, you are not using any fuel. Any manual can engine brake, and some automatics will do it as well.

"DFCO" is a name some idiot made up for engine braking to make it sound like something magical he discovered.
