I use the instant MPG, trip MPG, TPS and load %.

Or just the bar graph with instant.
Or the shift light plugin to remind you to shift at 2K RPMS.
You just need to take some time with it and see...

I have 455Nm at 2000 rpm so wheelspin is the bigger problem than lugging :cool:

I try to keep load at 80% below 1200 rpm, after that it's pedal to the metal. I shift at 2000-2500 rpm, keeps the...

Mcbota, when I accelerate, I don't keep it under 2000 rpms when I am driving this way. My car usually shifts around 3.5k-3.8k under hard take off. If I am taking off slowly, the way I use to, it...

You may want to verify the results by doing P&G in the other direction, and "normal" on the stretch where you used P&G.

Flat isn't always flat. ;)

I have two six speeds, one of which is on 2" taller tyres :D

If we're talking P&G, I generally use a gear lower than I'd cruise at. Sure you can lug the engine at 50 in 5th, but you can't really...

It's always better to coast in neutral. You can do on/off pulse and glide without hurting the clutch, but it does take a little practice initially. It would be better economy if you were able to do...

I P&G everywhere possible. I go from 1.5K to 2.5K for each shift with what I can only assume is around a 80% load (scangauge won't read this in my daily driver for whatever reason).

Here's my...

Since your car is a diesel with little engine braking, try pulse and glide IN GEAR. It's a lot less work and gives me roughly 15% improvement.

Your 25% improvement is huge, I feel other factors...

There are three really useful things SG can show you, Load, Water Temp and Intake Air temp. The rest is nice but less important. IMO it probably saves 5-10% vs driving 'blind'.

Keep it in gear if you need to stop. My T5 uses less fuel gliding in gear than coasting in neutral even factoring in the engine braking (I would have never thought this was possible previously - but...

IMO, sort of. If you want to aim for 80% load, only a SG (etc) can do it. I'm just learning to speak diesel and so far, I've found the 80% method to work (hasn't worked for my on petrol cars in the...
