Well the way I was taught - if you are going at a speed like that it's always safer to be in gear so you are ready to move and react if something should arise.

Also, coasting at speed in neutral - oil starvation + waste of gas. Leaving it in gear while coasting wastes no gas and your car is read to move if needed.

Neutral has throttle body on idle speed = fuel being used
In gear while coasting = throttle body shut so no gas being wasted on idle
