I've never been able to improve my mileage via P&G. I've tried it at various speed ranges and accelleration rates and have never been able to get mileage over what I get with my usual driving-with-load'ish driving technique (and usually it is worse with P&G). I suspect this is because the Honda engine is designed to run very efficiently at low power levels. The closest I get to P&G in my usual driving is on rolling terrain with too much elevation change for DWL to be practical, so I pulse the uphills and glide the downhills.
