wat rpm, dooes everyone shift at, when saving fuel?

My stock DC5R is getting ~330km from ~25L

So that's roughly 7.5L/100KM (shifting at 3k with lightish throttle, redlining about twice a week)

I fill up to full tank, drive maybe 200km and then fill it back up to full tank at the same petrol station. Takes the number of litres and divide by kms and multiply by 100 to give L/100km.

hahaha. that's true. hence i said at least 500km per tank on average. i hardly ever hit the fuel empty light, it usually hits 500km's first. and 50L might be +/- a couple of litres.

Yeah every gear. However, WOTing it to 3k wont do much either

also, I noticed, when I take off... first gear to second.... if I shift at 3k... I feel im goiing to slow, as traffic is on my booty
