Hello, Have a 2013 Fusion Titanium Hybrid, about 1500 miles. When I pulse and glide, I'm wondering whether I should apply maximum EV power during the glide phase, or just touch the pedal so that regen is inactive but the car is just coasting. On my 37 mile commute from South Lyon, Michigan to Detroit, with the bulk occurring on I96-I696 at 70 mph, then pulse and glide down the M-10 ("the Lodge") from 62 to 50, I'm able to get about 47 mpg for the trip. Great! But should I be using as much EV power as I can without triggering the gas engine during the glide as I can? Not clear on this. Thanks! Sincerely - a fledgling hypermiler. P.S. - OR, as I read around here more, is pulse and glide not as effective as just setting ECO cruise at 62 and letting it do it's thing? Is pulse and glide becoming disfavored with the newer hybrids? Thanks! P.S.S. - Another question and didn't want to start new post if I don't have to - What is best? Fast acceleration to get up to speed, or "step on a tomato," slow acceleration? Any pros on here with objective experience on what is better? Thanks.
