Hit and miss engine?

What do you guys think about a modern take on the hit and miss engine? I was just thinking you could engage the hit/miss mode electronically by cutting power to fuel injection and ignition. It would probably work best with engines with a heavy flywheel and coupled to a CVT.. To maintain an average of 2,000 rpm, you accelerate to 2,200 or so, cut fuel and ignition until RPM's fall to 1,800, then reengage and let the RPM's climb back up. would there be any fuel savings at all, or would you spend more fuel accelerating than you'd safe during the 'misses'?
