I think pulse and glide with an AT is really tricky, especially without an engine load readout. The car will want to switch gears when you try for an 80% load pulse, no? What I do with an AT is steady-state cruising. I only use neutral when cresting hills, because being in gear would slow the car excessively. I do a lot of engine braking, shifting to a higher gear if the selector allows it so that I can get full advantage of the deceleration fuel cut-off mode.

My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
