I have been experimenting with EOP&G for the last few weeks. What I have found is that I seem to be better off is running high RPM's for the pulse (2500 to 3000 in my truck) to get the pulse part over with fast. Then I end up gliding about 3x as much as a pulse. The average seems to come out a lot better than nursing it up to speed at OK mpg and gliding less of the time. If I accelerate too slow, the average seems to come out worse than constant speed.

Also, I read the terain like a hawk and glide dow every slight down grade I can and keep it under at least some power on every incline.
