You will get better fuel economy using engine braking as you slow down instead of neutral coasting. Unless I'm lazy I shift down through the gears, just because I think

You will get better fuel economy using engine braking as you slow down instead of neutral coasting. Unless I'm lazy I shift down through the gears, just because I think it's fun. I like to see how smooth I can make fast rev matched downshifts. I can't heel-toe very well in this car... The pedal position feels strange for my big feet. I'm working on getting good with the left and right sides of my right foot going across both pedals.
No one has said it yet, but don't try to downshift into first unless you're at or very near full stop When I'm on the highway, if there is a decent amount of traffic, I don't let my rpms drop below 3k. If traffic is very heavy, I try to keep it above 3.5k. Just my personal driving style |
