Default Fly It to the Ground

Yeah, I understand that... I'm just saying fundamentally- keep the
aircraft in best glide speed (dependent on configuration) from the
moment the engine cuts until the moment you flare, and you won't worry
about the 'do I push this glide to make the runway' trap.

wind, slower than Vg with the wind, and you will increase your range
(and likelihood of reaching something hospitable).
