transmission high rpm in cruise
I have just bought a new 2011 grand vitara 4 cyl for towing behind my motorhome. Towing
works great but i was stunned at the lousy milage under 20mpg on the hyway. What caught
my attention that i didnt during the presale was that at 60mph or 100kph that my rpm was
almost 3000 and in fact even at 80kph i was still at 2300. I have never seen a vehicle
especially a 4 cyl that doesnt kick down to 2000 or under in overdrive, thus the fuel
consumption.A friend of mine has 2010 with a 6 cyl with better milage. ??does anyone else
have same experience .
