How do YOU Pulse and Glide?
There are several different ways of getting better gas mileage with the P&G, Accelerating faster to stay in the engine's most efficient rpm band, slow and steady, -5mph glide band, -10mph -15mph glide band.
How do you do it?
Pulse: I throttle up to 5000 rpm [My rebel's peak torque] and accelerate until I reach the seed limit or 55mph, whichever comes first.
Glide: I pull the clutch in and glide until I have lost 10mph or so.
Engine: On, Idling, in neutral(clutch in)
On hills I know, I accelerate down them if there is an incline at the bottom.
On hills I don't know, I glide clutch in. If I have to accelerate up a hill, I DWL.
I start coasting as soon as I can see the light is red, or if there is a hill approaching the light.
Stop signs suck.
