Default Re: The physics of pulse and glide

[quote=EricGo]According to Wayne Brown, on level ground with no wind at 35 miles per hour, steady state energy consumption is 3.5 - 4 kW.

This energy consumption should define the B factor, before you start pulse and glide. Doing P&G will improve mileage further possibly getting you to 150mpg, depending on the other factors.

RJB: I hear your complaint about depleting the pack, but didn't Xcel & Tbaleno find that it stops depleting when it gets low enough? My problem with P&G in HCH is you never get into lean burn.
