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?
P&G is currently defined as accelerating at higher engine loads, followed by coasting with the engine turned off. Restart and repeat.

The only difference is he is leaving the engine running instead of shutting it off during the glide.

You could use PNG-on and PNG-off to differentiate. Many AT equipped cars should not be coasted with the engine off as it can damage many transmissions.

Hope that helps you understand.
