Groar,

Can you describe your pulse method a little? As in, how much throttle % are you giving? Do you vary the throttle by gear or by the RPM in a given gear?

I ask because I'm trying to get a feel for how P&G has worked for different people. I tried 1 tank P&G in city, using 60-80% throttle, and my FE got way WORSE. I am currently trying it with about 40-50%, and this seems to be giving very marginal improvements.
