Do you think my p&g hypothesis will hold true?

I'm now getting consistent 40mpg uk tanks out my Saab..

pulse and glide seems to be very effective go this car.currently on the motorway i use the band 65-50mph for p&g.

on my next tank I'm considering using a 60-50mph band

my hypothesis is this..

a-the pulse phase will be shorter

b-the glide phase will be shorter

c-there will be more pulses per trip

d-aero drag will have less impact

e-my overall mpg will increase.

the majority of my runs are on one road,and i know the topography well.

do you think my hypothesis will hold?do you have experience of making similar changes to your p&g?

talk away
