For anyone has scangauge, would you please post the instant MPG when you are coasting in gear and coasting in neutral?

Someone says coasting in gear saves more gas because the injection system cut off gas. If so, should scangauge show very high mpg? (999mpg) If not, does coasting in gear save more gas than coasting in neutral? by how much?
