Thanks! About the pulse, I don't know exactly... Probably closer to 1/2 than 1/3 throttle if I had to guess. My experience is that the car can get phenomenal P&G fuel economy at low/moderate speeds (no more than about 40-45 mph average), but not so much at higher speeds (light weight + poor aero = short glides).
