Between the Germans and the Finnish, there has to be someone that can optimize the torque curve for lower rpm operation.
I might ask some quotes next week, don't like to mess pump by myself as my job requires to have a car and I need to travel really a lot with it, again tomorrow I need to fill the tank, will be really poor MPG as I have been driving on very soft roads and one night had to forget hypermiling and drive rather quickly, so I would not be surprised to see lowest MPG, but car has surprised me before and now I have mods on, so let's see how it goes.
