this is so true I just got my scanguage and noticed right away driving with constant throttle position nets great mpg numbers but trying to speed up and slow down to maintain a speed on local slightly hilly terrain really hurts, I see the same kinda thing trying to stay behind a truck....

bottom line get a scanguage!!!
