M35 Using Snow Mode For Better Fuel Economy

nah it doesnt hit 4th gear, it unlocks the torque converter, you really need to push the throttle for it to actually kick back a gear. but yes it does feel like its going up a gear.

freeway driving i can get 700+ also

city is 450-500

hmm I often get around 450km to a tank around town but rarely over 600 on the highway...

My tyres are very very very very very very very noisey due to sharp edges that have formed on the inside of the tyres - had at least 2 wheel alignments in the last 12 months since they were new but didn't make any difference. (a hint - NEVER even consider buying Firenza ST-08 tyres. They are crap. No, they are worse than crap. Am hoping they wear down to nothing soon so I can justify new tyres. They've done ~26,000km and I doubt I'll get another 10,000km from them. Never heard a tyre anywhere near as noisy. Absolute rubbish!!)

Am thinking maybe extra friction from these tyres is hurting my fuel economy...? well either way its a good excuse to replace them...
