Default What is pulse and glide?

I am a new TCH owner and have read in a few posts about drivers using "pulse and glide" to optimize fuel efficiency. I gather this has to do with accelerating and then coasting, in turn. I would like some pointers on this technique (when to accelerate, how long to glide, what situations is the technique good and not so good for) and how it compares to using cruise control or just driving with your feet like a normal car.

Thank you in advance!
