I use low range alot when on tight bush tracks as I believe it gives better flexability from the gearbox when maximum speeds are 30 -40k and usually alot slower. Apperantly the general rule is twice the tourque and double the fuel usage. But how does that work?? I can see it being true for the same speed in the same gear but whats the difference between 3rd 4th low and 2nd and 3rd . I realize there is somewhat of a gearing differance but would it give half the fuel economy when speeds are around 10 - 20kph??
