NachtRitter- Sorry, I was reading "light/DFCO" to mean "idle/engine braking" and "moderate/heavy" as "cruising/accelerating."

I do as little constant load cruising as possible, and with my hills that means almost none. About the only time that I'm not actively P&Ging is when my wife calls me. As terrain dictates I'll have light pulses, but my goal is to either be on or off.

I'm still new at this (just over a year) and the roads I live on don't lend themselves to refining my technique away from hard P&G. With my P&G mindset if I'm not putting a real load on it then I shouldn't be putting any load on it at all, and with that kind of operation I'll try to pulse the compressor along with the rest of the car.
