Thanks for that Daox,
On my commute, a lot of the Hills co-incide with the on ramps for the Motorway..
so by gliding, I can reduce speed enough to allow folks to merge without braking
I do ofeten find myself completing the pulse at the top of a hill.
i've got 1 section on the route home that allows me to coast approx 3 miles by doing 2 short (200m) pulsed- this is a big factor in my MPG figures I think.
Glad you think the hypothesis is good.
Can I expect a sizable gain? e.g. 1 mpg?
