The weight of the spare has an effect, but it's not much. I'd take it out if you were going to the racetrack. On the street, it's probably not going to make a noticeable difference.
By coast, do you mean in Drive or in Neutral?

I have an automatic, so I don't think pulse and glide is safe nor efficient for my vehicle.
