My Saturn had its coil pack fail last winter and I drove it around for like 2-3 weeks... even with the injector disconnected on the non firing cylinder, my mileage dropped from
~42mpg to ~28... the issue was that it didn’t have enough power to handle pulse and glide, and it lacked power bad enough that going up hills that were normally doable in 5th gear, was then only doable in 3rd or 4th... the engine was really rough below 1800 RPM, so I also had to keep the revs up... that’s also not accounting for the richer AFR
