Perhaps it does. A 3MPH delta might signal lost in the noise.

The theory with pulse and glide is be either at the peak of BMEP or at idle/off. Wandering around the slopes is less efficient.
The difference between 45-30 and 80-65 will be down to aerodynamics.
Yeah, I know that PnG exploits how the engine is more efficient when under load, then coasting to take advantage of the excess energy.

It's easy to tell 80-65 would use a bit more gas since the higher average speed will require fighting through more air, but my question is about the same average speed, but smaller deltas. So, 45-30 vs 40-35.
