Hi RJ:

___Sure, break it down to gallons of fuel consumed and you can play with it a lot more. This is how Krousdb was calculating FE above 99.9 before Ken1784 supplied him with the SuperMid.

___Here goes …

Case Study #1:

Pulse: 40 miles/gallon during Pulse over 1 mile = 1 mile/40 miles/gallon = .025 gallons
Glide: Infinite miles/gallon during Glide over next 1 mile = 1 mile/infinite miles/gallon = 0 gallons

2 miles traveled on (.025 + 0) gallons = 2 miles/.025 gallons = 80 miles/gallon

Case Study #2:

Pulse: 40 miles/gallon during Pulse over 1 mile = 1 mile/40 miles/gallon = .025 gallons
Glide: 120 miles/gallon during Glide over next 1 mile = 1 mile/120 miles/gallon = 0.00833 gallons

2 miles traveled on (.025 + 0.0083) gallons = 2 miles/.0333 gallons = 60.0 miles/gallon

Case Study #3:

Pulse: 30 miles/gallon during Pulse over 1 mile = 1 mile/30 miles/gallon = .0333 gallons
Glide: Infinite miles/gallon during Glide over next 1 mile = 1 mile/infinite miles/gallon = 0 gallons

2 miles traveled on (.0333 + 0) gallons = 2 miles/.0333 gallons = 60.0 miles/gallon

Case Study #4:

Pulse: 30 miles/gallon during Pulse over 1 mile = 1 mile/30 miles/gallon = .0333 gallons
Glide: 120 miles/gallon during Glide over next 1 mile = 1 mile/120 miles/gallon = 0.00833 gallons

2 miles traveled on (.0333 + 0.00833) gallons = 2 miles/.04163 gallons = 48.0 miles/gallon

___A 120 mpg Neutral Glide (as an example) over 1 mile still burns fuel at the rate of .0833 gallons/mile. Once you break everything up to gallons, you see how one can combine with another.

___Good Luck
