Actually I'm not sure, whether it is late but...
My MINI Dooper with automatic transmission just passed his "grace" period and started "motoring".
So, when I try to kick him forward his RPMs going somewhere to 3500-4000, which, in my opinion, should be the case for petrol car, not diesel.
Diesel should switch somewhere up to 3000 to allow utilisation of maximum torque on 1750-2000 revs of higher gear (again, it is my opinion).
Do I use wrong logic ? Is it the same for your diesel automatic car?
