Since this thread is about P&G, how about you experienced guys give us a quick tutorial on how its done. By that I mean, please answer the following questions;

-What is the optimal speed variation; 10,15,20 mph?
-What would be the best LOD for increasing speed during a P&G
-What is the Benefit of P&G over long distance?
-Does your FE plateau or will it continue to increase over distance?

And a couple of my observations; P&Ging in my car I notice that I get to the optimal FE in no time flat, but once I am there it plateaus, therefore should I stop at that point? Or am I gaining the benefit of FE while traveling at faster speeds?

Thanks in advance for sharing the knowledge ..
