I only P&G in 5th gear. Down hills(overpasses here) and on flat roads. My trip to work is almost 60min through town 25mph and 50mph areas. I usually pulse to 5mph-10mph over and let glide to 5mph under. The Beetle is smooth to shift so i don't even use the clutch. 1st tank I tried this I was hoping to get 50mpg, I got 58mpg!!! WOW! I do not shut the motor off while gliding but I did shut it off at long lights. Seems to be mixed reviews about if this saves fuel or not.
