You didn't read the article, did you?
According to the article, when coasting in gear, the injectors don't deliver
ANY gas to the cylinders.
Well, engines don't use any gas while slowing to idle speed.
Once the engine is at idle speed it needs gas to keep running- so it
depends on how long you are coasting vs. how long it takes the engine to
slow to idle speed.
I guess you didn't read the article either...
