I have made a chart where you can estimate your fuel consumption based on P%G ratio on a 1.2 TDI:

So with 4 seconds pulse and 15 second glide gives:0,266 P&G ratio which means about 2.2 liter fuel consumption.
You can make your own chart by making some assumptations on the engine power and BSFC map... |
You estimate there different things, but if you make car lighter, probably glide will be shorter also? I agree that lighter car needs shorter time to accellerate, but probably it also means that there is less inertia and glide is shorter too. Lets expect that aero and motor power are same. Or I am missing something?
