Glide ratio for B737NG

Can someone please let me know what is the expected glide ratio at midweights for B737Ng with all engines out. What would be a reasonable formula to use for calculating glide distance(radius).i.e. @FL380=? N/Miles.
Cheers.

the expected glide ratio at midweights for B737Ng ... is exactly the same as for the low weights and high weights (speed is guaranteed to vary, though). Dunno where can you find those. I'd guess it's about 17, while waiting for someone more informed.

I'll go get me anorak....
