When you guys are daily driving the celi, what do you guys shift at, cuz a lot of my friends w/ diff cars shift at super low RPM like 2k-3k, but if I shift at 2k, then the car will not have enough power in the next gear, so i was wondering what you guys shift at in Daily Driving.
Thanks |

depends. you'll get alot better gas mileage if you shift at ~3k for daily driving. if you want to go really fast, you can spin up to the redline...but your mpg will go down and you'll have to pay more attention to your shifts.
i tend to agree that i rarely get past 3k, just to keep the mpg friendly and not draw too much attention to myself. --------------------  do you know who i am, mr. worley? |
