Isn't it that a turbodiesel (compared to NA) has more torque at a lower rpm, just where hypermilers need it? Well, almost where they need it, I can feel my engine really kickin' it above 2200rpm, but I try to stay below 2000. Anything that will shift torque to lower rpm is welcome (Modding the variable geometry turbo? Remapping the ECU? New, cooler intake? Adding a resistor here or there?).
