Depending on what your speed and idle fuel consumption are coasting in neutral may save gas. If the engine is at a high enough load, it probably won't. It really depends on the situation. Determining how much load is on the engine during a portion of your trip is the best way to accurately figure out whether or not popping in/out of gear is worthwhile in terms of fuel savings.
