Joshua is correct with some tuning you can improve your instance count quite well. I have set Max Idle Instances to 2 and kept Min Pending latency at auto and I am seeing some good results.
However, I still think there is needed some competition here in the US market. Traffic is way cheaper in Europe than here. If you take a look at the offer from Hetzner for 15$/month you'll get 2TB of traffic included. With the new GAE pricing this could cost you about 300$ here. The OVH offer for 8€ even includes a 100MBits flatrate.
