Yes, it works the same for manual trans cars too. I wouldn't be too concerned about putting it in neutral when coasting to a stop. The difference in fuel economy would be absolutely minimal. If you were always coasting down long hills in neutral or in gear, then you may notice a tiny difference in fuel economy, but even then it would be so small that it would be hard to accurately measure.

Either way, I'm sure that the differences would be hard to measure, but I was just trying to point out that coasting in neutral doesn't save gas....
