Hi am new to these forums i have a few questions
-Im not that a heavy footed driver and i drive short distances ie. city driving, but out of a full tank i can only get 300km why this? i would think i could get more out of a full tank.
-My car is 4 speed auto with tiptronic, when im driving along and im on a hil or something ill stick it into neutral (normally to save fuel) and then back into D when i need to pick up speed again, is this ok for the transmission and gears etc? or am i damaging it?
-Finally, when im stationary at traffic lights or something and i want to pull away fast i use the tiptronic, so floor it and when i push it forwards to change into second, the engine revs very loud it judders and jerks alot and then changes gear?
also when i floor it (when the engine is warm, there is a burning plasticy/fuel smell)
