Not sure how accurate your mpg calculations are; you may actually be using more fuel when coasting.
When coasting in neutral, your engine is using enough fuel to keep it running at idle speed. Granted it's not much, but it is using fuel.
If you are coasting (foot off the throttle) in gear, no fuel is needed to keep the engine turning over. There's no trip computer on my Tacoma, but my Jeep had one -- and it indicated 99 mpg, as high as it could register, when coasting downhill in gear.
Be interesting to hear from guys who have installed a Scanguage in their Tacoma...
