I believe, in general, it is true for any car that you should accelerate briskly (not WOT), short shift a bit and get into the highest gear you can that does not result in lugging the engine. So many magazines and tv shows (Mythbusters is one, I believe) have run tests and it seems that they always get the same result: reduce time spent accelerating and get into the highest gear you can. And yet, there are still people and organizations that say to accelerate smooth and slowly...
 Oh, and make sure you drive with your tailgate closed on your pickup trucks! |
