I'm pretty obsessed with fuel economy on my Fiesta 1.4 MK6.

When coasting up to a to a roundabout is it better to be in neutral gear, or have the clutch pedal down, i say for example 4th gear?

I'm asking this because I noticed that in Neutral gear the engine speed is 1000RPM, however in gear (clutch down) its at around 700RPM?

So, whats the best action to take in terms of fuel economy?
