Coz the diesel engine won't rev as high and produces more torque so they are higher geared to compensate

The petrol box will make it a lot slower top probably 70 mph at the redline



Craig

The DSG seems to add a bit over putting it in Drive if you work the gears manually. I have just travelled to Nottingham today sat...

My modified 1.8t does around 35mpg on a run and and 20-22 around town

Or better still, have one of those tried and tested levers just behind the gear lever.
