Coasting in gear requires gas. No gas equals deceleration/engine braking. Most engines are tuned to accept large fuel volume variations...you tune one to idle efficiently and your Audi would win by coasting while idling...

I have always had a question about this...

So for better mpg...coasting is better than Neutral correct?
Also you say no gas is used for engine braking/downshifting. does that mean you have to just downshift with no rev match?
So no gas is used there, but what if you rev match by blipping the throttle
