What is the best ratio of pulse to glide?

I have been practicing to Pulse and Glide on a 12 miles stretch of highway. What have you found to be the best ratio for pulse:glide?
1: Pulsing in 5th gear and glide ratio is a 10 second pulse vs a10 second glide.
2: Pulse in 4th gear with higher RPM, fuel consumption and power band is a 4 second pulse vs a 10 second glide.
As my 1992 Honda Accord is pre-computer, I have to wait until my next fill-up to see if this technique is working.
I was getting 76% above EPA before I started my P&G experiments. My goal is to get 100%.

Drive your ICE like a MOSFET switch. All on or all off.
