Using DFCO to increase your MPG

[Yarisduder]

Don't you just use the energy you saved "gliding" when "pulsing?" This pulse and glide thing sounds like it defies the laws of conservation of energy, same goes with the mountain driving. Please explain how this is possible.

When gliding you have an infinite MPG and even though your MPG will drop when slowly accelerating, the average MPG will increase overall compared to driving at a constant speed.
