It saves gas.
However, if you disengage the clutch on a stick shift, then you no longer have the engine controlling the wheels, and braking will be more difficult. If you turn off the engine while coasting down a hill you also remove power to the brakes and steering, and you may well lock the steering wheel accidentally. A very dangerous move!
