Would like to know what gear you were in, and maybe ambient temperature makes a difference. My Insight won't cutoff at any speed when the engine is still cold - and it is a hybrid!
My old Nissan Almera had the fuel cutoff at higher RPM, which made itself felt as hard engine braking. Then at say 1500 RPM it fired up again and more or less coasted down more gradually until the idle actually pushed the car forward.
Instead of using FCO I preferred to kill the engine and coasted down in top gear, clutch to the floor but ready to engage to restart when needed or when the speed got to say 20 km/h (half a turn of the crank would already do it even at very low speed)
Could coast maybe 3 times as long that way.
