I haven't seen any positive results from it either, I'm afraid.

So I no longer use P&G on long stretches of road.

I do however try to coast as often as possible - i.e. getting up to or keeping sufficient speed so I can coast to certain points where speed needs to be reduced anyway like turns, speedbumps, PSL reductions,... at an appropriate speed.

I can do some experiments where I simply press the clutch to "glide" and tell you how it goes.
I'd put it in neutral and release the clutch again.
To me it's far more relaxed than keeping the clutch-pedal pushed in.
