Hello!
I just bought a 2005 CR-V 2.2 CDTi. I had a CR-V enthusiast tell me I should generally aim for 2000+ rpm when driving, for best fuel economy and to have less problems with EGR/soot filter.
Could anyone confirm if it is true? In general, when driving other (gasoline) cars, I had best fuel economy when driving at around 1500-1800. When going over 2000 it usually would skyrocket.
I see Serj22 here did say the same 10 years ago in a forum I can't link to because I have not enough posts /forums/76-fuel-economy-gas-related-discussion/4270-what-best-speed-drive-crv.html :
