My diesel purrs along at 1000 rpm at 50 kmh.
If i really really want to ***** foot it on a back road i can get it down to 925 rpm at 40 kmh. It will idle along in 5th gear at 35 to 40kmh by itself.
With the cheapo fuel pump tuning box on my car it gives it more response and pick up at the low 1000 rpm to 1500 rpm i drive at. I am the first off the stop light and the first to leave the intersection, without raising the rpm over 1500 but shifting threw 1 , 2 and 3rd before leaving the intersection then settle in 5th at 1000 rpm.
I rarely drive in 4th gear,i am always trying to keep the rpm's as low as possible so 4th is used for the rare slow speed hill or a quick gear change up to 5th.
With my style of hypermiling its all about low rpm's with all the N coasting i can manage, sort of a pulse n glide without the pulse.
