Just out of curiosity.. Most of my driving is in town, so 25mph speed limit, I drive about 30-32 mph

What gear would you drive in if you were driving about 30-32mph?
Also, how about like 40-45mph?

 

usually 2nd for 25-30 and 3rd for the other, unless i feel like I need to possibly pass someone then I just stay in 2nd.

 

as a rough idea, heres what I normally do.. depends what terrain im on though too or if I'm trying to accerelate or just cruise.

Normal DD type driving
<10mph - 1st
10-25mph - 2nd
25-40mph - 3rd
40-55mph - 4th
55-inifinity - 5th

Fun driving
redline 1st
NLS (sometimes, but sketchy)
redline 2nd
NLS
redline 3rd
NLS
get half through 4th
then realize you are going way too fast and cruise to a lowly 65mph back in 5th

 

Q1. 3rd.
Q2. 4th.

 

Maybe it's because my cars loud... But I use 4th for anything above 25 and 5th for anything above 35

 

If I'm cruising around I'll be between 1500-2000 RPM. Accelerating I never go above 3k unless I'm going ***** to the walls.

 

I shift into 3rd around 30 and 4th around 45.

 

Just shift every 2.5 to 3k rpms

 

inb4 turbosmart o nm

those are real 'inbetween' speeds... my car seems to like the rpms to stay above 2k so i'd probably 2nd and 3rd for those unless i'm gonna be going that speed for a while then 3rd and 4th

 

id just keep it in drive lol

 

usually third gear is suitable for both speeds if im abouve 35 i have a lil humph to pass and keeps me from speeding............sometimes!!!

 

Lmfao troll

 

I go more off rpms, car doesn't like being under 2k so I keep about 2.5k unless I'm cruising down foe awhile then I'll Let it sit between 1.5 and 2 k.

 

I have a LNF, so nothing below 3000 RPM. 3000 RPM in 5th = 130 ish Kms (Canada of course).
Low Revs is bad on the DI.

Shift at 3k. Your clutch will love you so will mpg. Close thread.
