Pulsing On Flats

If I'm driving along in an automatic transmission equipped vehicle that cannot do engine off coasting at a very steady 55mph on a perfectly flat section of road using cruise control, would using a P&G technique increase mileage significantly while maintaining the same average speed?

With a heavier vehicle, adding to the mass needing to be accelerated each pulse cycle, what kind of MPG increase should one expect is see if a steady cruise control speed returned 30mpg?
