Yes coasting downhill will save you fuel. However do not do this with a vehicle equipped with automatic transmission. You will damage the automatic transmission by coasting. You can do this with a manual transmission but do not shut the engine off. This would cause you to loose Power Steering and power brakes.

It saves gas. However, if you disengage the clutch on a stick shift, then you no longer have the engine controlling the wheels, and braking will be more difficult.
