I don't P&G in traffic or if anyone is following closely. If they are tailgating then sod them they can go my pace or go past.

SoSimple - try this.

a) On your flat road reset the average and then cruise at your 35-45.

b) Then repeat pulsing to 45 and letting the speed drop to 35 and repeating.

c) Then repeat b with higher tyre pressures.

If I do these in my 1.9 TDI then I will get the best result on the computer with C every time. The problem as Euromodder pointed out is that if I do this for a full tank when I refill I see no improvement over just driving gently. My last tank had no trip with an average below 55 but the overall tank ended up at 50 which is more or less where the previous one was without P&G.
