You also have to consider that the idle speed (and hence DFCO cut off) is dependent upon load (electrical, a/c etc) and temp. If your idle speed with the clutch in is 1500, expect the DFCO to only last until 1750. Its rare that mine will run the minimum idle rpm (which is needed for the 850 cut off). Once past the cut off, it goes back to needing to add fuel not only for the engine, but also the wheels again.
