A bit more math...
Last tank statistics:
I was coasting with DFCO or engine off for 82km if we count let's say 90km/l we'll have 0.9111 l more of burned fuel. I was filling up after 1087km so it will give 0.08l/100km more
So FE wouldn't be 3.85l/100km but 3.93 And as you can see I wasn't coasting too much with this tank, just 8%.
Counting that by the factor of miles traveled over a year it will give you few galons of saved fuel. Every bit counts as they say ;-)

In MPG (Imp) difference will be from 73.37 to 71.88
