Here's the question. What is the suggested minimum and maximum speed for pulse and glide on a level two lane highway where the posted speed limit is 55 mph? In my daily 30 mile commute I encounter two 30 pmh zones, a 45 mph zone, two 55 mph zones, and 10 miles of 65 mph interstate. If I want to go to the nearest grocery store, it is 2 miles at 30 mph with 3 traffic lights and one stop sign. Our family requires 6 gal. of milk and a lot more than 4 small bags of groceries per week but I believe that a bicycle and trailer could handle it. That's my real world. Oh yes, Walmart is 10 miles away.
