Power or torque - using a Synergy

bobthebuilder · 8th March 2010, 19:24

I have set my Synergy up for medium power and torque as I thought that would provide a good compromise of extra oomph whilst maintaining mpg and not stressing the engine, clutch etc.

I'm very pleased with the results but am conscious that I still have the high power and/or the high torque settings still to go!

Presummably high power and high torque will make the car go fastest and use most diesel.

Has anyone done any long term tests on what effect the high torque/medium power, or medium power/high power settings have on mpg?

And I wonder what the most common settings are?
