Which is fine with me, because I prefer to just cruise (drive with load/target drive) on highway trips. (Though I still use it strategically depending on terrain, speed zones, etc., on a given trip.)
I'm pretty sure highway P&G hurts my MPG. I can't coast far enough to recover from the long pulse. Cruise and glide works much better when the hils are where I want them.
