Maybe because they need to travel long distances, need reliable comfortable transport and pay for the fuel as a private individual or self employed 

& you know when you fill a tank fill or 2 a week how it affects your own pocket.

 

Those with Fuel Cards paid by others or just not bothered about consumption and cost might well not give a monkeys.

 

If it is only pennies and it does not slow down your journey them Mony a mickle maks a muckle.

But if it is 40 more miles over a 63 liter tank then that is 500 pennies maybe difference. Price of a double Fried Mars bar supper

or Pizza Crunchie Supper.

 

I must admit that when I look and see my average mpg at 54 for the journey i do feel a bit smug but really a few bob here and there is not going to kill me. 

I'm pretty sure there are a good few manufacturers using coasting nowadays. My neighbour's Merc A Class has it. They just all come under different names, but it's effectively the same concept. For example, Merc call it Glider Mode.
