Saab 2.0 Low pressure turbo 5sp manual

1st- shift at 2000
2nd- shift at 2000
3rd shift at 2000
4th shift at 2000
5th use up to 2500 (65mph) then neutral for P&G on the motorway.

I find 1/3 pedal gives me good accel, over a short period.

Also I make sure i'm in the highest gear possible for accel- e.g going 35-50 is 5th, 25-35 is 4th

seems to work ok as currently at 117% of UK combined MPG
