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..
D...
I suppose if there was some noise to let me know what the engines doing I might paddle it,

I will endeavour to take more interest.. 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?

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.
Our old D4 would have used more,probably around 18.But it would be heavier.
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.
