Sorry, I failed to mention that the hypothetical situation I'm designing for assumes an overunning clutch is in the transmission. I could write versions for both, I guess.

Hey, that makes sense! Avoid big engine running at partial power. Duh. It's so reversed from what I do now that it takes a little adjusting. I'll try and cook something up. I've tried pulse and glide and found it was more effort than I was willing to put in, but it still interests me a lot.
