The rule is the same for all turbo charged diesel engines... throttling down and gearing up for light loads saves fuel. I was listening to some farmers talk about their tractors equipped with IVT (infinitely variable) transmissions. During light load operations the computer slows the engine down below 1200 rpm and some guys over ride the comperter because they can't wrap their head around the idea of working an engine at such low rpm.
