My 450 Cdi has no tach 'eyeball' and I was wondering what is the best speed to gained the most fuel efficiency. I usually wait for the arrow on the dash to come on to change but the car sound like its revving too high. The car does change gear on its own but only when it is revving high. I'm only going by the sound of the car and the speedo to change gears.
Eventually I will get a scanguage. |
