In my car the "drone" was slightly increasing up to 2500 km and starting with 4000 km I get the impression that it decreases over time.

110km in 5th solves the problem by burning more fuel. Or I can do 100km instead.
Good to know that it is decreasing over time as the resonance between 2100-2500 in my car is kind of annoying.
