This is the textbook difference between direct and indirect injection isn't it?

I own nothing but Diesels of many types and every one but the Mercedes is very sensitive to RPM when efficiency is in mind. Only the Benz seems to like to rev and still get great figures. My Powerstroke will pull near 22 mpg if you never let it over 2000rpm while towing a 6500 pound truck. It gets 16 if you don't. My 6.2 will pull 25 empty @55mph but run 65 with no OD and it drops dramatically to 15. Google high mpg Cummins. There are trucks out there that will go like hell and are pulling 50+ empty.
