You are correct in your assumption - acceleration, even if only up a couple of mph, coast accelerate a couple of mph, will use more fuel than a steady state cruise. I put in a lot of highway miles and are constantly amazed by how few drivers use their cruise control on the open highway.
In the interest of full disclosure, my wife is driven to distraction by my using cruise control at every opportunity, because it causes us to run up the tailpipe of the idiots who speed-up-slow-down-park-it-if-there-is-a-curve-in-sight.
