For best MPG, it makes no sense to let the revs dip below 1200 rpm on a DFCO coast. (the ECU goes out of DFCO and into idle at about 1200) The engine won't lug at 1200 rpm unless you're trying to accelerate up a hill. On flat ground, it won't accelerate QUICKLY from 1200 in 4th or 5th gear, but it WILL do so without lugging. I do it all the time. Smooth, no lugging.

Listen to what the car is telling you. If it's not complaining, it's happy. If it starts bucking, or doesn't have enough grunt to climb the grade you're on... downshift!

If you shift fast enough you can stay in DFCO and drop the car down in gears.
