Wouldn't the 4 speed transmission get poorer fuel economy over speeds of 90km/hr? I was told that 5th gear is like an overdrive of sorts. For instance.
If I were to drive 90km/hr in 4th gear it would definitely be at 3000 no questions asked. If I were driving in 5th gear at 90km/hr it is ~2700rpm. The split seems to happen ~85km/hr when both 4th and 5th gear runs at 2500rpm. The tach gradually moves up to 3000rpm and above as I drive faster. ~3000rpm at 120km/hr and ~3200 at 140km/hr.
