Yeah to me if the traffic were a one-lane road, the issue would be almost trivial. I'd play with my speeds to see if I could find the one I could constantly maintain, to smooth out the waves. Hopefully the guy behind me isn't an armed road rager.
When it's a multi-lane road, it's almost a losing cause.
Before I started driving for MPG, I used to try to adhere to the rule where you keep a one second gap to the car ahead for every 10MPH of speed. That's also a losing cause, for the same reason.
So IMHO, eco driving in heavy traffic is really a function of the level of impatience (read: a$$holishness) of the people around you.
