so i have a 2011 2.0L Gas jetta, now i know the engine is 20 year old technology so i hope someone can tell me the most efficient way to accelerate, i have been keeping the ScanGauge LOD setting between 75% and 80% when accelerating , is this correct? and if i reach 90% load what does this mean exactly? am i dumping useless fuel into the engine if i hit 90-99%.
Another question, do i shift gears when my engine load decreases to 70% on acceleration or do i push the pedal harder to bring it back up to 75%-80%. are there any charts i can look at for a jetta 2.0 l gas THANKS!
