Let me guess, yours is a manual gearbox, there's not much else could explain those figures

No its auto, i do tend to watch the turbo light and back of till it goes out, other than that it gets driven normal.

That's pretty much what I do with mine.

Although mine is a manual transmission, I don't think that that is as much of a factor on these cars as it is on others because the auto has the transmission lock and higher gearing in overdrive top that compensate for the losses in the fluid drive at lowers speeds...
