Your probably better off coasting in neutral. As you weed through the gears you are getting some amount of deceleration fuel cut off (dfco) but you would have also had to keep on the gas for at least 1/6 of the mile anyway.

Of course if you shut your motor off.....

edit: I see you have a 93, it is very possible that your fuel injectors don't cutoff on deceleration. You will definitely be better of coasting in neutral.
