Did you ever try "pulse & glide"?
Try the 5th gear, speed up rather fast to 85km/h (53 MPH), release the clutch and let the car roll until the speed is 70km/h (43 MPH), then speed up again.
This style is not possible if you're not alone but on the next trip to Rovaniemi you will have chance to try.
Additionally I use EOC (engine off coasting), that means while rolling I switch off the engine but ignition must be on. That might be dangerous as driving curves and breaking is no longer supported. As long as there is no moose (hirvi) on the street ...  |
It is rated 5.6/4l or 4.4/3.2 depending on the year.
