It's kind of a passive agressive technique which maintains best separation from the inattentive and imbecilic, especially now that deer season is here.

I use coasting in the foothills of TX to improve mileage on my bike. There are some hills with a 2 miles coasting distance, if done right. Always engine on, not off.
