This is something that I've been wondering.
Lets say that I'm on a slight uphill grade, I shift up and put my foot to the floor till it gets up to a good shifting RPM.
Am I wasting fuel by having my foot on the floor?
Would it be better if I had my foot just past the point where it doesn't change the acceleration any?
I can feel the point of change if I back off the throttle.
I'm new to diesels, but I know how it works in a gas engine.
Would like someone that understands the fuel delivery system to educate me.
