Run 60 get 28, run 65 get 30, run 70 get 29.
Mercedes 3.0 TD
Seems like the turbo diesel boost helps more than the aero hurts. My sample size is small but am going to continue driving 65 in my Mercedes for more data. I think I am comparing similar driving conditions. The engine is supposed to have peak torque at 2000 and 65 mph is 2800.
The car supposedly has a cd of .4 and is fairly small. yet pretty heavy for it's size. The engine is strictly old school IDI TD, no computer.
Comments?
