I believe that Amateur racing experience has helped my on-road driving alot.. So my situational awareness was probably above average to begin with, as it were.

Since learning about P&G, and applying the technique in practice (even without instrumentation, it's helping), I've gotten used to the sequence of events to the point where I don't pay attention when coming out of gear or into gear anymore, it doesn't require my attention. Now that this is the case, I believe that my awareness has increased substantially more than it even used to be, given previous experience, now that I have to think and pay a little more attention to when/where I should be pulsing vs. gliding, and deciding whether it will be beneficial to cut my pulse short and begin gliding earlier, or to pulse a little longer to get to that hill, so I can maintain my higher speed longer, before decelerating on the glide, etc.

All those things are considerations to me now, whereas before it was "Don't use the brakes, good drivers don't need them." And I usually didn't, unless I intended to stop, or needed an emergency maneuver.

I voted yes, but also with the caveat that MetroMPG mentioned, maybe even a little further drawn out for some.
