I remember Groar and Vekke once mentioning that pulse & glide at highway speeds (>90km/h) is not worth while. Of course, the gains are larger you have aeromods and if you glide with the engine off, but even then only up to a certain speed. I sometimes find myself PN(eutral)G-ing between 100 and 80 km/h, but that's mostly from habit. I don't think the gain is big enough to do it all the time, only if the terrain is slightly hilly.
