If DFCO actually uses no gas, then if you are running your AC when you are coasting, you are not using any fuel so it can't cost any gas to run it.

The cost difference between running the AC and not running it is so small that you really want to be hot.

Depends on the heat/humidity/sunshine in your area. Usually cracking a couple windows and running the fan at 2 is sufficient cooling for my climate.

Another thing you could time with DFCO is when to run the defogger, since it uses the AC.
