[QUOTE="Road_Runner, post: 1461525, member: 28288"] I tend to punch it on a freeway ramp (just to get up to freeway speed, mind you), then short shift many gears. Top gear gives best fuel economy and least vibes, so unless under 50 mph I'm usually there unless passing. Interesting bit: I have to travel around 5 miles of my commute is in a 25 zone. At an indicated 30 MPH, I used to be in 3rd gear, but then I switched to instantaneous "fuel economy" mode, and found that 4th gear gives 4 MPG better at an indicated 30 (which of course, is actually less than 30 MPH). I really didn't care about the increased MPH until $5/Gal gas! [/QUOTE]
