However, it is even more efficient than the standard pulse and glide method on flat ground. That is because it leverages potential energy. It allows you to use the pulse and glide method without as much wind drag.

Exactly. Also, air resistance goes up exponentially, and this method of pulse and glide allows you to maintain a nearly fixed speed.
