When I was driving around town, I usually shift at 4500. When I was driving more aggressively I shifted closer to 6. But when I was going uphill, I would be going 75 mph in 5th gear, when the car slowed or seemed to be working I would downshift to 4. I didn't usually downshift when I was going downhill, just coasted. With the PDK, around town it shifts really early and it wasn't reving much at all an was shifting at 2.5 or 3. I was disappointed until this weekend when I went to Vegas. That's when I saw the PDK working well. Getting on the fwy quickly it did shift higher, usually around 4 or 4.5. Going uphill at 80 mph it was shifting from 7 to 6 and at times to 5. The rpm didn't really go above 5 but the transitions were smooth and able to maintain the power and speed. At 1 point I did get it up to 6000 but don't remember what I was doing, I was too enthralled with the sound.

I'll recheck it, but even if just 75, it sounds faster, kind of like Beethoven's metronome. Laz - Thursday, 19 September, 2013, at 10:10:44 pm |
While checking the linear coolant temp vs. numeric: yes, G, the idle on Sport goes up 150. Laz - Thursday, 19 September, 2013, at 11:33:00 pm |

Haven't reached a conclusion concerning the coolant information, but the band seems to move the same as the numeric display, and doesn't continue to move right. Then again it's a cool night and the car has only been idling to warm up.

I'm kind of hoping the bar will continue to move right even after the temp is @ 200 F, Laz - Friday, 20 September, 2013, at 10:03:13 am |

Guenter, was the 40.9 mpg (!) due to a reset on a long downhill? Imperial gallons?

Excellent road--98A--to drive on.
Have you been on 89A that goes up to Jerome? "158 curves in 12 miles"--according to the T-shirt I picked up.
A friend of ours was driving and having fun with it; glad I wasn't in the back seat..

but that's probably not going to happen. For the next servicing I'll see if the dealer can program the reading to be more realistic-- but I'm not optimistic about that. Last night I noticed the oil temperature pretty much leveled out at about 164-5, but again, this is with the car just idling its way back to "operating" temperature having been shut off for a while after a long drive at 55º F.
Concerning the older cars, my 2001 in particular, the coolant would sit, if I recall correctly, just past the 180 mark, but at times would move a bit farther, so maybe there wasn't a maximum limit. Oddly enough, it would do that on some cool days, not just hot summer ones, and with no particular change in driving style.

Maybe the coolant can stabilize at 200 (F) and then the oil compensates for anything above. Laz - Friday, 20 September, 2013, at 2:16:38 pm |

Just for grins, I plugged in the OBD scanner after setting the coolant display for Celsius and then watched both temps as a I drove around at various speeds.
The cars gauge warmed up considerably faster than the OBD read out and stopped moving at 93 deg. C; the OBD read out was all over the place, topping out at 102,then dropped fast--thermostat opening? It bounced around a bit but tended to stay in the 84-87 deg C range on the highway.I drove at 65 mph for a while in 5th gear turning about 2.8-3K rpms and it stay pretty consistently at 85 deg C. The ambient temp was around 80 deg F.
