I don't do P&G (at least not the continuous one) because I'm afraid the clutch wear will cost as much or more than the saved fuel. It's also not so nice to the other traffic if you're not alone on the road.
On the other hand I try to glide with engine on idle whenever it fits into the driving pattern, like down a hill I might glide even though I lose a little speed that has to be regained later and when comping to a stop in a crossing I try gliding instead of breaking.
In the case of down a hill I've been thinking about the standard gas saving recommendation to let the speed go down while going uphill and then regain speed when going downhill. If you apply pulse and glide to this scenario it might be more fuel efficient to gain speed while going uphill as then you'll get a really long glide downhill... any thoughts about this? Which one is more efficient?
