To start with, I have not done testing, and these are simply observations I've been noticing.

It appears that the Mustang coasts much further and maintains its speed from ~60-30 much longer than the Insight. When the Mustang gets to ~30, it starts slowing much faster.

The Insight, on the other hand, seems to slow much more quickly from 60~40. But, when it hits the ~40 range it seems to start slowing down very slowly.

Again, these re just observations. I live on a main road (55 mph speed limit) so I have to maintain a high speed for following traffic, but plan my coasts to use no brakes, and not have to restart the engine (Mustang) or put back in gear (Insight).
