Oh. WAIT. You're trying to "glide" in gear? NO. Pop it into N or it's going to engine-brake you down in no time at all. You will get worse mileage doing "Pulse and engine-brake" than steady speed.

Yes agreed, you need to shift to neutral to make your glides longer. Coasting in gear promotes engine braking, that's why you are losing so much speed when gliding.
