i definitely disagree with this statement, its all about driving style for fuel economy in a diesel the less revs the less fuel you use(unless its laboring badly) the difference in mine is changing at 2400-2500 and just giving it 50%-75% throttle straight up compared to 1800 max shift points and feeding the power on slowly as the engine rpms build and using the torque not just the revs to get u moving(hard to explain) the difference is about 2-3L and that's with a very light triton with stock size tyres..

Note that you will probably suffer more panel damage than is really necessary if you follow this method of driving as all the other normal drivers this doddering fool holds up all day will eventually lead to you being shunted off the road where you belong and maybe even a quick backhander in case you haven't got the message
This reminds me of a long overdue tradie/ute/4wd owner post I was going to make in the rant thread...
