    Talking Redline?

    Isn't that what the rev limiter is for??
    Run it out to 6500 now and again, stretch its legs already... I bounce off the limiter now and again and my overall/lifetime MPG is still 34, that's awesome!!

    Wink melodious

    I gotta add: for MPH = shift point; if there's one you have to experience it's: 3rd to 4th @ 78MPH. The engine is absolutely singing, there's a wonderful intake whine (it's almost like a gear whine) and the 3-pot is giving it all it's got, for a 74HP 'beast' it's about as good as it gets. IMO

    Try it some time

    From 10+k miles experience.

    Maintaining speed, no acceleration.

    5th down to 30 MPH (1500 rpm)
    the rest of the gears down to the same rpm (1500)

    Very very slight acceleration can be done from 1500 but it would take at least 30 seconds to increase your speed by 20 mph.

    Normal acceleration I go to 2500 rpm.

    Other traffic influenced acceleration I go to 3500 or higher depending on the situation.

    regards

    I basically shift at 2400 rpms. A little higher going up hill.
    Or,
    1-2 10 mph
    2-3 20 mph
    3-4 30 mph
    4-5 40 mph
    I will skip 4th if i am rolling down hill. The car will cruise without lugging at 35 mph in 5th.

    even with cargo and driver + 4 passengers I never rev more than 2500. when I am driving alone I shift at about 2000 rpms as the computer tells me to do

    Are all other conditions the same - temperature, road grade (uphill, downhill) wind speed & direction, weight?
