Good that you asked:

You only need TPS 19 or lower when you actually want it to go into LB. Before that over the two miles, just don't stomp on it. And once you get it into LB you use the second set of rules (shorter set) to keep it in LB.

Also - and I left this out before - coasting in gear with foot off the accelerator seems to disable lean burn even if you already had it. Coasting in neural is OK, you will be able to get LB back after maybe 5-30 seconds of following the other guidelines.
