This car had DFCO programmed into the ECU from the factory...
DFCO is a form of braking, plain and simple. It is NOT comparable to engine-off coasting.

I've thought about doing some sort of "lean cruise" button/setting with this car. It probably wouldn't be too difficult if I got a second wideband controller for the other half of the engine (in addition to the one I already have).
However...P&G with EOC (if you can commit to it) is always going to be more efficient than lean cruise, since the engine is always in its BSFC "sweet spot" (or off).
