I love gadgets..

I still can't quite grasp this pulse and glide technique..
From what I have observed, if the SG instant MPG goes to 9999 (think of 9999 as divide by zero, i.e. "X MPH / 0 GPH" ) when you are decelerating, then you have DFCO. I don't, .

The P&G is definitely counter-intuitive, and car specific. It works best with cars with good aerodynamics. For boxy cars like a Scion Xb, it's not practical because the glide is not long enough to justify the pulse.
