Hi Guys,
Just looking for a bit of info. When i use the car normally (04 4.4) i guess the car has Landrovers standard emissions map on the ECU that is used. When i push the selector to sport the ECU obviously lets the engine rev higher and I'm guessing adjust the fueling for performance not fuel economy. My main query is when i upshift or downshift into manual mode does the ECU resort to the fuel saving mode but allow manual control of gear changes? I've been trying the car in manual mode and have been getting better mpg driving this way but when on the motorway and cruising am i better to switch back out of sport/manual mode of can i stay in manual for best fuel-saving?
thanks and i hope you understand that
Rob

Was also thinking about this over the weekend. Can't answer your question unfortunately, but am interested in the responses!

Around town, I always use manual as i can squeeze an extra 1-2mpg fuel economy compared to D, but i guess this is more related to the fact that i know when the road is straight and clear so can shift up earlier and avoid prolonged 3k+ revs when there's no need, especially downhill. I don't hang about and certainly don't change up before 2k revs to avoid labouring the engine

When cruising on the motorway (usually on cruise control), I tend to stick it into S and then manually knock it into 6th - if left in "D" it has a tendency to drop back into 5th whenever i make minor speed adjustments using the steering wheel, or hit a long incline. Given i'm usually well over 2.25k revs when in 6th, I can't see the need for the box to drop down and it is quite annoying to get the kick in the back for only a few seconds before it shifts up again.

On the 1200 miles (80% Mway, 20% A/B road) i did this weekend, i managed 22.2mpg from an 07 Jag 4.4 petrol lump (calculated from tank fills, not from the OBC) at an average speed reading of 58.5mph. I'm happy with that!

Anyone?
