Willing to give up the highway mileage though as half of my trips are up and down hills. I try to go out of my way to take the highway as it useless otherwise.

Had the car for two years now, almost have it mechanicaly sorted out, the gearing has been bothering me for some time and it is coming up on tge to do list.
Oh yeah, Hamilton Hill

I think you have put in your diesel taller gears than I have in my gas 4.3 V8... I usually see tacho around 3000 RPM for... I guess 140 km/h ish.

Maybe mess with the turbo and fuel injection so you can possibly climb Centennial pkwy or whatever.

Sit at 2200, you mean you are in stall zone the whole way? And... maybe more impressive (for me at least), you have 617 and working tachometer?!
