Just done a search for some references for my absolutely correct information and come up with this video. I hope this has been educational to you to help you understand why you are quite wrong.

So on one side we have Quacker and his many years working as a mechanic...
...and on the other side we have Volvo (indeed, pretty much the entire car industry), several engineers, and a physicist. Your choice.
Personal experience: on a road with gentle rolling hills the fuel consumption is markedly reduced with coasting enabled. If it’s obvious that I’m going to have to stop (ie a roundabout at the end of a gentle descent), I’ll tap the brakes at the beginning to have engine braking the whole way down. Otherwise the car gets to decide.
