Somewhere I saw a post comparing steady speed cruise control vs. P&G using moderate acceleration, I think maybe 1/3 throttle or so. P&G wone every time.

The center speeds tested were 35-44-55 mpg, if I recall. That is, at each speed, he compared steady speed vs. P&G from 5 mph under to 5 over the center speed. I don't recall if that was engine off or coasting in neutral.
