I like to get it higher sooner, mostly from a comfort/safety standpoint, as I like clear windows and warm air. I have been letting it idle in 5th till out of the neighorhood (1 mile) rather than pulse and glide. My mileage out of the neighorhood is down just a bit over pulse and glide, but I get into warmer temps sooner once I get on the higher speed roads.
