After a long trip, The economy was at about 37.8 according to the SGII. (It's probably closer to 30.) Pulse and gliding was experimented with again and it appears to work when done properly; Not at WOT but at a IGN rating close to what would be if the accelerater wasn't pressed; Pulsing for three seconds then gliding for nine.

Is this an appropriate place to post this?

The duct tape grille block was removed on the return trip as the fWT was almost up to 210 at a red light.

Edit/Update: When I was trying to pulse and glide as I described here, I hadn't watched videos on the subject; I did it in trial-and-error prior to this.
