that's the thing. I'm at a point where I am not really lugging at low throttle inputs, but am if I step on it.

i am guessing that downshifting probably does make sense in this case, as fuel efficiency just above lugging, probably ain't anything to write home about.

i 'spose a little extra left leg exercise is good for me, anyway and doesn't really cause much extra wear.
