I just read ecomodder 100+ Tips for better fuel efficiency and I saw this:

When you *have* to slow down, here's an approximate heirarchy of methods, from best to worst.

1) coasting in neutral, engine off (ie. roll to a stop);
2) coasting in neutral, engine idling;
3) regenerative coasting (hybrid vehicles)
4) regenerative braking (hybrid vehicles)
5) coasting in "deceleration fuel cut-off" mode (in gear, above a certain engine RPM)
6) conventional friction braking (non-hybrid or hybrid)

Choosing the right method depends on traffic conditions (following vehicles) and how quickly you need to stop.
REALLY?! Is it really more efficient to coast in neutral, with engine idling than using DFCO?! I thought DFCO cuts the fuel and it is better way to slow down...
