A better way of thinking of DWL is "target driving", where your target is an instant fuel economy number (ie. on your MPG display) that you can hold at constant speed on the flat. You work to maintain that particular number through elevation changes by playing the throttle.
I wasn't equating them, just comparing them to constant speed. My question remains, why is that more efficient than constant speed?
