Nothing happens in a vacuum.

P&G can help a ton, but you've got to work the terrain, traffic and car. Use downhills and times when you'd be slowing down anyway. Use a 5-10 mph window instead of the 25 mph window you're talking about- your pulses will be a lot shorter, and by using circumstances better your glides will be longer. Make sure they're appropriate for the gearbox, because as you've spotted, pulsing from 35 in 5th just isn't right.
