I think this would be easier and safer, even if less efficent then a full pulse and glide.
Wow, I never thought of turning off the injectors and flooring it! I have just been mostly just pushing it into nuetral to coast in traffic and using the kill switch when I know I'm gonna sit at a light when I stop.
