Size last week I own a GP 1.9 mjtd (130hp).
It has ecodrive so I installed it and logged my rides.

Ofcourse the first week I scored 70 out of 100.
Now while trying to use as minimal diesel as possible I score 60(n)

As I'm used to a petrol car I was wondering at what rpm's most user shift gears.

I ussualy go to 1800rpm in 1st gear and after that I shift around 1500 - 1600 from 2nd to 4th.
And 1300 from 5th to 6th.

If I shift earlier I think teh engine will be stressed to much as the rpm drop below 1000.

And is there a shift indicator in these cars?
I have seen a picture of the dash that showed boost pressure, mybe possible to show the ideal shift moment?
 
If you need to try and drive a mjet economically I think theres something wrong.

They are decent on fuel without even trying.

But ideally sitting at a constant speed such as 56-60mph will probably be the best speeds for mpg.

Not sure when is best to change up for being eco in it as I don't bother with that.
