HAHA, very good results!
Probably you should try one gear down (4th instead of 5th?) so that engine is in right rpms from the beginning of the pulse. I just got my diesel so I am not expert at all, but Vekke writed that and he is getting really good hypermiling numbers.

On diesel you have to make the Push with full throttle (97%). RPMs should start the push at torgue peak or rigth before it. On a 1.9 TDI that is about 1800rpm. Use the shortest gear that meets the RPM reguirement. Usually 4:th gear.
