I see the graph. Mine is the ASZ version of that engine (130hp) but probably similar. Not sure about the full throttle thing though as that would surely just mean unburnt excess fuel (Diesel = fuel controlled) and in any case the turbo would kick in and I would be at 2500+ before I know it.

I shall experiment with the highest gear approach though, part throttle enough to maintain speed or bleed it off enough to get to the top and then coast down. I don't EOC as my steering and brakes don't work well with no engine.

EDIT : Reason for my post is I'm kind of living of the instant MPG reading and its painful watching it hit 25 or less when going uphill vs --- (i.e. infinity) when going down.
