I have a feeling this is wrong. The reason P&G works is it maintains momentum, whereas DFCO doesn't. Keep in mind that OBD instrumentation is woefully inaccurate most of the time. When I first got my TDI which has virtually no engine braking (you can barely tell if it's in gear or neutral - simular effect to turning on the A/C while DFOC'ing a normal car), I tried P&G in DFCO for the first tanks, but P&G in neutral (EOnC) netted clearly better tank to tank results, even though SGII showed the opposite effect.
