fuel saveing tip

did you no if at 50miles per hour if you put the gear shift into sports mode knock it into 6th gear and then put it back into auto it'll stay in 6th handy if you want to cruise between 50 and 60 rob telford

Ive noticed in mine, if i'm in command shift mode and lets say i'm in 4th if i don't knock down on approach to a junction it just knocks down itself, i suppose thats to protect the engine from labouring, so its only useful on accelaration then or off roading

Here ya go!! That's what you can get on a long cruise at 60mph mostly in cruise and 6th. Anything slower is too slow for 6th and you're not getting past the trucks. Mind you this was when it was warmer and from Carlisle to Cobham so downhill!!
