Saving fuel consists of accelerating slowly, and minimising slowing down and stopping, not optimising shift points.
Fuel usage is a function of power, not rpm.
Shift around 3-4k during daily driving :)
my ECU does the shifting for me..
so your saying at 7000rpms its pumping the same amount of fuel as would be at 1000rpm ...... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:Quote:

Please learn a few basics about how an engine works before you say things like this.
same here i shift at 4, cause 3 is too slow and 5 is too loud, 4 just rite for me and my itr as wellQuote:
