Hi,

I was wondering how high you tach your car when you are accelerating under normal conditions in everyday driving. I go up to about 2.5-3K rpm in all gears except 1st. Please don't tell me you redline it each and every chance you get.

usually around 3k to 3.5k in first, then 3k after that... does best for gas mileage.

Then 6.5k when it's time for fun!

 

When does the rev-limiter kick-in....?????


3-4,000 dpends how I feel

 

how much gas do you press in each gear?

 

spirited but not banzai mode between 3k and 4.5k...banzai mode >5k

 

4-5K, I often shift 1-2-5 or 1-3-5. You know the guy you see run away from everyon at the light, that's me! Ain't no fun being the second in line comming on to the highway.

It is TRULY amazing how little gas the Max can consume when you keep it below 3.5-4K. I recently got it below the magic 10L / 100KM (+-23 MPG) with my new snows that I was taking car of.

 

I try not to ever go over 3k in city driving. I'm usually right around 2.5k in first and under for the rest.

 

Every day driving 1500-2000. 680 km on a tank of gas.

 

I shift at about 2500RPM~3000RPM under normal driving.

I however shift at 2000RPM if there was no cars behind me, just to save gas. People tailgate me if I shift at 2000RPM I think because I drive like a grandpa.
