According to the article, coasting in neutral burns gas, coasting in gear
doesn't. If that's correct, then OBVIOUSLY you use less fuel coasting in gear.

WHILE coasting yes, but as someone else tried to explain, coasting in
gear will slow the car faster than coasting in neutral. *That doesn't
matter if you're coasting to a stop, but if you're not, the fact that
you've slowed more means you will use more fuel after coasting to
regain that lost speed.

If people want to coast, then build a soap-box racer and go at it.
Driving a car and coasting in neutral or with the key tuned off is
just asking for trouble. I would hope these "gas saving" coasters stay
off the roads that I travel on.
