After consulting "He who shall remain Nameless" I've driven the last 3 weeks or so in "S"
still no paddles though...
higher rev change points and does change down when slowing.. you can also feel ( just ) the changes up now..
Have you noticed any difference in fuel economy?Quote:

2.7T towing 2.7T at 117kph.... and you want fuel figures? [bigrolf] [bighmmm][tonguewink]
I do think it tows better though...
by better I mean average speed better..
Interested if you have noticed it using more fuel.Quote:

Cheers, Craig
I will endeavour to take more interest.. [thumbsupbig] Off to Longreach today but its only a hundred kays, we did fill up yesterday so only a dozen or less kays from full BUT will a hundred kays be a big enough sample?
You'd have to be bloody happy with 16!!!
My V8 D2 got 16 just on it lonesome!! [bigrolf]
around 120kays using 20l... so-- 6 kays per litre?
which is just less than twice what I was getting towing on lpg with the D2
16.6L/100,so pretty good if at actual speed limit of 100Km/h or slightly above.Quote:

Not that i really cared i just drove the bloody thing,at the speed limit or just above if the conditions were good,if not slower.
What i did find was towing we were always looking for fuel,tank size was a PITA.
It was the Perfect Storm of Goodness... [bigrolf]
Average speed camera- so Cruise control set to 110- Check!
Flat as a pancake- Check!
Totally calm- Check!
Zero traffic- Check!
