Remember that while accelerating at higher load is more efficient, you also increase the speed fluctuations by doing this and thus you increase the ultimate power requirements of the car. That's why I am starting to try to pulse at 60-70% load, that way I am doing less pulse/glide cycles, and my speed is more constant (pisses other drivers off less).
