Build yourself an MPGuino, and you'll know for sure!

Yeah, I'll have to do that. As my speed drops, I eventually start hearing a slight burble from the exhaust, indicating to me that at least a little fuel is getting in. My one key-off test indicated that I could get all the way down with the key off, except for about a 4 second light 5th-gear acceleration after a particularly sharp corner. Having the fuel cut off the whole way seems like the way to guarantee that I don't use a drop of fuel the whole way down.
Seems like an MPGuino should be my second mod (after a vacuum gauge, that is.)
