Going slow is the ticket.
If I P&G between 45-60 mph, I can get 45-50 mpg. Pulse times are 8 seconds, glide times typically 8-16 seconds.
P&G from 25-40 mph gets me 55-60 mpg. Pulse times are 8 seconds, glide times ~24 seconds.
P&G from 15-30 mph gets me 60-70 mpg. Pulse times are 8 seconds, glide times to 40 seconds. The longer glide times are what really increase the mpgs at the slower speeds.
