The RPMs while coasting in neutral and while sitting still in neutral are basically equal. I've only tried at speeds of ~50 MPH and lower, though. I try not to re-engage Drive before completely stopping though. I do that because I am unsure of the consequences. Interesting side note: The instant MPG on the MPGuino (still calibrating, but seems pretty accurate) is about the same whether I'm coasting in D or in N (different RPMs). Fuel cut-off, maybe? I'm still not sure how cut-off works, though.
