I love pulse and glide. It's a great way to get through hilly terrain efficiently. Pulsing up the hill with a good load on the engine is more efficient, they say. I'm waiting for my ScanGauge to come, then I will be better able to determine the best speed and gear for FE. On some parts of my daily commute, it's amazing how far I can glide and maintain a decent speed.
Do you have any instrumentation? It's difficult to determine the effect of a mod without it. Which is why my Vibe is still mostly unmodded...
C'mon ScanGauge!
