Glide, Load, Engine On, Neutral?

Pulse & Glide = Get the car up to speed, and glide to a lower speed, and then accelerate again.

I would Glide with the car in the highest gear, unless I was looking to build momentum, in which case, I would glide in Neutral.
Pulse - I would pulse up to the speed limit.

Can someone explain for me what Glide, Load, Engine On, Neutral is exactly?
How does this work up hill - if you glide uphill, you'll lose momentum and have to get it back - and in many hills that momentum is gone as soon as you get it?

Ahh: Found this: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post248966

Still, how does that work on hills exactly?
