i usually rev it to 2k rpm while taking off on first and after that i shift before 3k rpm. so when i reach 40 im in 5th gear.

i read someones post that they were getting 25mpg. Am i doing something wrong or is the computer on the car not accurate? i dont have a heavy foot either.

does anyone actually use 6th gear on normal roads? not counting freeways
