it depends how its been mapped tbh, best off asking your tuner.

if its L8 or P8, iirc they have a fuel cut on over run to prevent cat damage, but again it depends on the map

Perfectly normal fuel saving strategy

And dont listen to those who say you need rich fuel too cool cylinders as thats crap. !

Most overrun overfuelling is bad mapping and the above excuse is used to get over the fact they havent set it up properly...LOL

Perfectly safe.

P8 has a very efficient fuel saving strategy on closing the throttle.
