modern fuel injected cars as toureman said don't use any fuel when your foot is off the throttle and are 'coasting in gear'.
older cars use a very little.
if you want to save fuel, drive as gently as poss and never speed.
also try to judge approach to traffic lights / roundabouts / junctions / queues and let the throttle off earlier than normally would be done. this also saves on brake wear. ( pi**es everybody off behind you! )
