To get the best gas mileage that is. I am having trouble getting good mpg, its been hovering around 20mpg (100% city, 5spd manual).
The car manual goes like this but I tried this and the gas mileage sucked! (20mpg average)
1st to 2nd: 15mph
2nd to 3rd: 27mph
3rd to 4th: 39mph
4th to 5th: 53mph
I am now trying the highest gear possible for different speeds. Trying to keep it below 2k rpms.
25mph - In 3rd
35mph - In 4th
45mph - In 5th
Is this lugging my engine? Bad for my engine? What gear are you usually in at : 25, 35, & 45mph to get the best gas mileage?
