The absolute best way to do it is to still P&G even with the real short glides. I'd recommend just leaving the engine on since they'll be so short. However, if your LOD is high enough I'd just stick to the speed limit and climb up em.
At roughly 65 MPH (limit is 70 but traffic got in the way) -
5th (~3000 rpm) LOD says 43 at WOT
4th (~3700 rpm) LOD says 60 at WOT

Didn't try 3rd due to traffic.

Held on to 4th and noticed power increase at 4500, may need to explore the positions on the rev counter beyond 11 o'clock...

I've tried P&G before but the glides are really only lasting about 1/2 the time of the pulse if that.

Glides at anything over 45 don't seem to last long even on the flat - maybe thats pushing me towards aero mods. And I promised I wouldn't before he is 1 year old at least
