My Civic Hybrid cost $8500, so it will take a loooong time to recoup the gasoline savings (versus a cheap $2000-3000 car).

Well it does in my car...... the engine is idling and the wheels are freewheeling at 40, 50, or 60 miles an hour. (coasting) Reengaging the gear again causes clutch wear due to differing RPMs.
