Default Which drive technique uses the most fuel.

I've always coasted down long hills when safe to do so, but I noticed that when I coast down a hill in my 2005 Astra I get 130mpg on the instant consumption, but 999mpg if left in fifth gear on engine braking. Presumably the ECU is cutting off fuel under certain conditions to reduce fuel consumption? Do any of the 75/ZT models do this?
