I've also wondered about this with the Lineartronic CVT in my wife's Impreza... It seems like you're putting on the brakes as soon as you lift completely off the throttle... Despite this, I can coax some pretty decent mileage out of it though... Subaru doesn't recommend flat towing this transmission, so I doubt it's safe to coast mine in neutral...
