Mike,
Some vehicles shut off the injectors when coasting in gear but still report the use of fuel as if they were still operating. I believe this is the case for your Honda. The amount of fuel difference in a tank of fuel is not much because the fuel flow rate is so low and the time you are doing it over a tank of fuel is not high.
We are looking at a way to determine if this is happening using a combination of the throttle position and open/closed loop. If you watch the open/closed loop when coasting, it will usually go to open loop if the injectors shut off.
(this parts about the laptop interface)
We are still working on the interface. It grew in complexity and we hit some problems we didn't anticipate. I will send you an email when it is completed.

I guess the computer still reports fuel use for some reason, my bad lol. Anywho.....
About the illegal part, i mean cmon. You think a cop is going to give me a ticket for popping it into neutral 100 ft before a stop light? That page is about down hill which i do agree with. If your going down a long hill yea you should be in gear cause if you brakes glaze over (old drum brakes and trucks have this problem) then you cant stop.
And have you ever seen a sign that says "engine braking prohibited"? I have.
