Man, if i was lucky enough to be driving a manual i would be clutching in or coasting in neutral.

Maybe it is the regenerative braking kicking in? I think a motor engages somewhere in the drivetrain when the car is coasting that generates current to recharge the battery.

If you have the extended display do you see this pronounced when the fuel use indictor points to recharge mode?
