Yeah I am still not 100% convinced that the Veloster has DFCO because my gal/hr is worse coasting in gear vs neutral. The instant MPG is also not nearly as high vs in neutral. I have read how to test if it does but I am not keen on cutting the engine while driving.

FWIW, i have noticed in my car that it will only enter dfco if i am not in manual mode. Yours may be the same. In sport mode and manual mode the ecu will waste more fuel in the assumption that you have the car at a track event or you're having entirely too much fun and need that fraction of a second better throttle response.
