I drive 2018 Civic sedan with a CVT. I hypermile it from time to time. I'm living in the middle of stuffed european city, that's why I can't avoid stop and go traffic. My average mpg is 37.7 mpg, but I drove only 18,000 miles with the car. Still I'm a slow driver most of the time, and I can't save a lot of gas in stop and go traffic and it's dangerous to drive that slow on the Autobahn. When you're mostly commuting on the highway your overall mpg will be a lot better than mine. The best I got was 55 mpg on a 100 miles trip.

I would say it doesn't need any gas while coasting. And also the gauge says "zero gas" when I coast.
By the way the manual transmission is a bit more fuel efficient, but I think you know that already and want to have an automatic transmission like myself.
Oh and the Civic sedan is a bit more fuel efficient than the hatchback due to less weight, the better CW value and the narrower tires.
