How much can I save from P&G

Ever since I have my gauge set up and tuned, I have been trying to find out how P&G will benefit me. I read on Wiki that P&G will greatly benefit city driving, which is all I do but I am struggling to archive the result.

I have an Automatic, 3500lb car with relatively small 170hp engine (Accord). The car eats up so much fuel when accelerating at 70-80% load but still takes quite a while to get up to 35mph because it is heavy and it FREAKING slow down so fast when in gear that I have to pulse every ten seconds.

Yet, I find that engaging cruise at 35mph gives me better MPG than anything my foot can perform. I swear that if I just hold my foot still at 35mph, it will use 4L/h and the second I enenge cruise, it drops to 3.5L/h. Crazy!

So my question is, do P&G always give you better result than slow accelerate and cruise?

Would medium accelerating is still better than turtle acceleration?
