MPG-My TD4 Results.

One of the reasons I get higher fuel consumption is my love of the kick down, coupled with the Synergy's increased power it certainly helps with Motorway driving.

Hi Nick,

That just goes to show how different we all are - not right, not wrong - but different.

On motorways I have the Synergy set to 'Eco' for better fuel consumption on my long journeys.

I keep the power setting for the fun twisty bits on A & B roads and for my Alpine Pass adventures - a pastime to which I am addicted of course.

Hi Singvogel

Unfortunately I still drive diesels the way I learnt in the sixties, foot down to the floor as soon as you changed up to the next gear, that was in the days before commercials/psv's had turbo's and auto boxes with kick downs
