Set Cruise Control During Decel !?

On a CR-Z forum, one user is claiming that he gets ~50 mpg on his commute loop when he sets his cruise control during deceleration. Process is accel to 62 mph, decel, set cruise at 60 mph. If instead he accelerates to 60, holds steady at 60 and then sets the cruise, he'll get ~46-47 mpg.

Anybody experienced this? Any explanation?
