Is fuel consumed when a car is in gear and going down a hill?

Is much fuel burnt when you have your foot off the accelerator and in gear just coasting down a hill? I have a BMW with a MPG meter which displays 0 MPG when I am doing this even though the engine is still running?
I remember Jeremy Clarkson testing an Audi Diesel from Scotland to London to see how far it would go on a tank of diesel and he made some comment about the car not consuming fuel with your foot off the accelerator?

If I change out the engine in my car do I need a completely new exhaust, or just new headers?

I am "restoring" a 1976 Camaro for fun and as a learning experience. The exhaust headers that are currently on have several holes and the rest of the exhaust pipes are just *#@$ up looking. I want to replace everything with high temp pipes but my block is cracked. Should I just settle for a cheap exhaust set for now until I replace the engine?

Having Engine Hesitation Problems?

My car is having problems with hesitating. When accelerating quickly from below 45mph to around 60mph, the engine hesitates then it's fine. And it also happens when going around 40mph on steep hills. I thought it was the transmition at first and had my transmition fluid changed out completely just in case but it still hesitates. My guess now is that I am having a problem with my fuel filter or fuel injection. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
