Is this only true, though, if you have the ability to P&G? In a car with auto that cannot EOC, wouldn't it be better to keep vacuum high for better mileage at a constant speed, since the extra fuel used on the pulse can't be made up for with a glide, or am I not understanding this concept correctly?
