Yes, you can do that. The injectors will be powered but not injecting fuel until you restart the engine. I coast in neutral, with the engine off, and the injectors powered, all the time.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
