I think I've found the same thing ps2fixer. If I go to the absolute bottom of 5th gear in my AT (about 45mph and 1500 rpm) I can get about 80% throttle without gaining speed going up a hill, like one big pulse. And because the pulsing technique is the most efficient way to produce energy, it's how I get up to speed in the city.
