shift point for daily driving

**CONAN** · 03-09-2005 06:29 PM

about 3.5k-4 for me

i cant imagine people who shift at 2-2.5... thats incredibly slow!

yes, it is very slow.

Doesn't make much difference if you drive in peak hours all the time.

changing at low rev doesn't mean you will definately save fuel...
sometime it waste more...and it can somehow damage your engine as well...

I shift between 3.5k - 4.5k.. sound better and smoother... I shift under 3k before but found not really using that much fuel if shift at higher rev.

2.5 all the way. gotta qs does it waste fuel if u fully step on acc in 5th? as conpared say in 1st?

all depends, if just putting around with the fam, it's 2.5 to 3 on the flat roads in traffic, perhaps even lower when it's bumper to bumper doing no more than 20km/h which makes up 60% of my driving.:-(
