pulse and coast?

Iv been having a little fun with my new car, then coming back to my senses, and coasting a lot, and mileage is going up! On the way home, about a 20 mile drive, 12 or so on the expressway, when I got off scangauge read somewhere around the usual 35 mpg for the current trip mileage. So I juiced it up to the truck I was drafting, then just put it in neutral and coasted until the truck was about 1/4 mile away, then did it again. about 5 miles later, I was up to 38 MPG for the trip, and made it down my little street and into the driveway with a high 37 for the trip. It seems even pulsing, and coasting with the engine ON is still better than steady. Man I need a injector kill switch.... That may just be my next mod...
