Hello guys, I would like to introduce the topics of engine brake and thrust-off. My poor knowledge: With the engine brake you can drive long distances downhill without sacrificing your brakes. In urban traffic you can reduce fuel consumption and brake wear. In contrast, the engine, transmission and clutch have to pick up more. As far as I know my Starlet is already injecting at 2400 rpm again, i.e. I have to switch down rather high-toured to activate the thrust-off.
