What gear do you guys park it at about 130km/h? I usually don't go above 4th,, but maybe I should try 5th or even 6th if I don't have the M button on.
No wonder why you get crappy fuel millage. If it`s flat I can use the 6th gear as low as 80km/h. At 130km/h in 4th you must be around 3900rpm why you need that much rev with a car that have a flat torque curve from 1500rpm all the way to 4500rpm? Even at 119km/h in 6th it will climb most highway hill without any need to downshift.
