Hey I was just wondering what revs you guys shift at for daily, economical driving? The reason is i have been shifting at 3k and my mpg is going down like CRAZY!! so let me know what revs you guys normally shift at and how much mpg you guys get please!

 

OH PLEASE SWEET BABY JESUS, FIX THE S2KI.COM SEARCH!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!



28mpg here at 6k rpms.

You'll need:
Driving mix city / highway.
Winter formulation gas or not.
Driving style getting to those rpms.
Stop and go.
Number of shifts over number of miles.

For example, if I shift at 9k rpms... but I have two shifts over a 100 mile drive... that's not going to help you very much.

 

I shift at 3k usually just because I don't really like how coarse the engine sounds when revving high while not under load... I drive pretty much 100% city (stop/go) and get about 21 mpg.

 

Shift at 4-5 and see it go up

 

The engine sounds so unhappy just cruising at those RPM's though I guess I just need to get used to it.

 

He said to shift at 4-5k, not cruise at 4-5k.

 

I cruise at 3.7-4K sometimes... car is very happy.

 

9k

if you are worried about your car at 4-5k RPMs please go back and get another car.
