Interesting article, War_Wagon. Thanks!
The reason I was asking was to try to determine if it's better the pulse and glide or keep it in lean burn on the section of my commute that is freeway. On my commute to work, I've been resetting my Ultragauge and trying different methods over the 18.0 mile stretch of fairly level, 60mph freeway.
Day 1, I tried to keep it in Lean Burn mode, it reported 40.9mpg and I was able to keep it in Lean Burn for about 90% of that drive.
Day 2, I used pulse and glide (coasting in Neutral though) ranging from 65-50mph to try not to impact traffic too much. Ultragauge reported 54.0mpg.
Initially, it looks like a wash to me, (assuming an average A/F ratio of 20:1 gets me 53.7mpg for Day 1) and if I start EOC, then P&G is likely going to be the better choice. Am I wrong?
