Probably in an auto your BSFC has to increase more than 10% to get over the difference between having the TC locked up and not, as it will most likely unlock under anything other than light acceleration. Also you probably need to stay between 2000 and 3000 in an auto, depending what your TC stall speed is, low RPM in an auto is like trying to paddle a canoe up a fast moving shallow stream, vs punting it with a stick.

I remember The RoadWarrior..To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time..the world was powered by the black fuel & the desert sprouted great cities..Gone now, swept away..two mighty warrior tribes went to war & touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel, they were nothing..thundering machines sputtered & stopped..Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice
