is this method more effective than DWL?

Next trip im going to try some DWL'ing, I think I pretty much get the idea of it. Say the speed on flat ground is 80km/h and 17 in-hg vacuum. try to maintain the 17 in-hg constantly by letting off on uphills, and increasing throttle on down (accelerating to say 100km/h).

Is that in the ballpark of the right idea?
