Yup. On my '95 Tercel, which is also an auto, I experimented with both P&G and DWL and found that DWL offers equal or better results to P&G with less traffic disruption. With instrumentation, you can monitor MPG, MPH, and engine load to find a good balance, which basically means minimizing engine load (translated as foot pressure on the throttle) while holding a particular speed range (e.g., between 20 and 30 mph). I do pop into neutral and coast whenever I'm approaching a stop or going downhill.
