mm, I noticed something strange today.
Driving along at 30pmh, in 3rd gear, I seemed to get a better mpg than when in 4th gear. It varied between 40-70, with an average of around 60mpg.
This is along a flat stretch of road and according to the onboard computer.
It`s a 2011 Panda Mylife Dynamic which I`ve had from new.
So, for the next month I`m going to keep it in 3rd until about 35mph (not very often or for very long) before changing into 3rd.
Has anyone else noticed this? Would the gearing be set that way purposefully by Fiat?
