So I'm interested in trying this, I tried pulse and glide on the way back home from work. I've never popped the clutch before so I'll be popping my clutch popping cherry... I'm going to try this is a parking lot first but is it better to do this at lower RPM?
For example, when I was trying P&G, I stayed in 5th, accelerated to 90km/h(~2000RPM), neutral, coasted to 70km/h (N ~1100RPM), and went into gear again (70km/h in 5th ~1700RPM). I would try to rev match when going back into gear, which seems counter intuitive to fuel economy...
So I guess my question is: is it safe to just put it in gear? the same with popping the clutch, I thought that was an "in case you can't start the car" not, "let's force the engine to start up every 40 seconds" so how does that work?
