Also the ratio of pulse vs glide time taken. If speed goes down fast on glide there is no sense to do P&G in my opinion. You can do some rough calculations yourself based on your consumption. When I used that technigue in diesel my push were few seconds and glide should be over 10 seconds easily to give better consumption.

If glide was not working I used glide with load meaning let the speed go down slowly by giving it proper amount of gas. Gliding with load you could say.
