My last tank yielded me 36.7MPG (US) with shifts anywhere from 2700-6000rpm. Most of my driving was conservative, but some was WOT having fun with the new 6spd.
So shifting higher doesn't affect MPG as much as you'd think. The higher you rev the motor (to a point at around 3500-4000) the more efficient it is at producing torque. Bogging the motor below 2000 only causes the timing to retard to prevent detonation which decreases it efficiency. |
