It would be interesting to look at the numbers for the energy consumed when operating in a pulse glide situation, using real aero numbers. You could compare what happens if the mass of one vehicle is say 10% less than another, with both vehicles accelerating at the same constant rate. The next step would then be to add the rolling resistance.
