Pulse & Glide + Flywheel Energy Storage
rather then "pulse and glide" cruise control setting, couldn't you get the same effect of optimizing the time spent at min BSFC using a cvt energy storage flywheel.
cycle of 50 % drive + accelerate flywheel 50% ic off drive from flywheel. Although that would lose 10% due to conversion loss would that not give 10% better mpg at a constant speed?
