Optimum speed/RPM for fuel economy on diesel sport?
There's no information on this in the drivers manual. Does anyone know?
Generally I like to keep the rpm above 2k when I drive, but my wife prefers 1800 rpm and changes up a gear as soon as possible. I feel that changing too early strains the engine. Which of us is right?
