Subject:Idling downhill? (Was: Calculate fuel consumption when idling?)

Another question for the experts. If you're rolling downhill, which is more
economical, assuming your TPS is working correctly: to put it in neutral and
idle, or to leave it in gear with gravity revving the engine and with your
foot OFF the throttle? In the second case, the ECU should be running max.
lean, but does this still consume more than idling?
