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.

I'm not alone of course. Look at the linked video.
