Re: Pulse and Glide works, But...
I own a 06 HCH and my description of Pulse and Glide is different from others as well.
My description of a Pulse and Glide method is as follows:
1. Pulse (accelerating up to speed fairly quick) to 2 to 5mph over speed limit, glide back to speed limit while monitoring the Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge. It will spike at 100mpg and stay that way for a while. Using a feather touch on the gas peddle to maintain speed or drop just slightly below the speed limit.
2. I Take note of the pitch of the road; is it level, sloping up or down and adjust acceleration/coasting accordingly.
3. Usually I pulse up a slope (usually short period of using more fuel) and then glide for longer periods while maintaining speed, again peaking the gauge at 100mpg.
Good luck with the TCH, I really like the new look of the Camry.
