I have no scientific explanation for my thoughts on your hypothisisisisisis just my swag.

a-the pulse phase will be shorter
Cause your not accelerating as much,
b-the glide phase will be shorter
Yes but by a smaller amount than the pulse.
c-there will be more pulses per trip
a few more
d-aero drag will have less impact
slightly as 60 > 65 (woo now there is some crazy math)
e-my overall mpg will increase.
that is likely.
