FWIW, my Insight surely does DFCO on deceleration. It will even mildly regenerate, more so at higher speed. (it will regenerate harder if I press the brake pedal)
It will stay in DFCO if I feather the throttle to neutralize regeneration and prolong the 'glide'.
Regeneration aside, I see no reason why DFCO would not function in non-hybrid CVTs?
Unless you're running AC. That may keep the juice flowing even when decelerating.
The less I use the ventilation system and other power consumers, the better it DFCOs.
