It's just what it sounds like. You pulse or accelerate up to a certain peak speed... then you coast with the car out of gear while engine idling or (EOC), allowing the car to coast until the speed drops to a certain low mark. You can make the gap between top and bottom speed a 15 mph difference, or whatever you feel most comfortable with considering the traffic. Then, keep repeating. This is more efficient than driving at a set speed... apparently around 20% more efficient. This is a very effective technique for city driving, but can be used on the highway as well. I found this info elsewhere on this site and have found it to be pretty accurate.
