You won't really get any better mpg by doing that. If you're coasting downhill and the engine is at 2000rpm, it will not be using any more fuel than if it was at 700rpm....the fuel rack in the IP dictates the fuel used, and if you're not on the throttle, then the engine isn't using any more than an idle-amount of fuel. So essentially its pointless to do that....
