Any time on my '94 that my foot was entirely off the gas, the injectors got basically no signal as opposed to a very steady signal even at 5% throttle.

Feel free to try yourself. I used to always use cruise, but using this method always gets me better mileage. Maybe my way of explaining it isn't spot-on but it works, that's for sure.

Also, I'm not saying that it doesn't fire the inectors at all, just that keeping a constant speed on level ground still fires the injectors about the same as slightly accelerating down a hill.

I don't disagree with what you say at all. I think we may be thinking slightly different things.
