Driving styles for manuals?

[Kaffa]

At what point do all you people shift for optimal gas mileage and what rpms you usually at for cruising etc?


Trying to better my driving habits. :-)

Thanks!

keep the engine RPM as low as possible, while not getting run over.

I get better gas milage while crawling along in traffic at 25 - 30 than I do cruizing at ~75.

I gave up on watching my gas mileage once I regeared to 4.56. It just makes me depressed so I flip my air compressor switch on and off until I feel better

Seriously, I tend to run 2200 - 2800 rpms.

keep your rpms under 2000, and itll make a big difference. I notice If I stay around 60 or 65, I get the best mileage.
