so i believe BaranE's statement "That's nothing I did 230 from Istanbul to Ankara(capitol) the only car to pass me was a E55 AMG German license" is inadiquate since i was only say.... 6kmh below him... hmm :/

Mine shifts into 6th in DS, just at a lot higher RPM. I wonder why?
when doing highway at around 140 km/h I always find myself in 6th with the step, below that,h it seems to been willing to stay in 5th which indeed gives higher consumption figures, but when accelerating from 110-120km/h, it is gives a big positive differences in accelaration which I like whilst listening to classical music. Heavenly !!!
