Which RPM would one shift at and how fast should one go to get optimal results for gas mileage?
It depends on the car, but I have had a few manual transmission cars. I normally shifted kinda low around 2,500 and I got much better gas mileage in them than in my automatic versions of the same cars that I had before (Trans Am 2002, Camaro 1995)
If you’re in the market for used auto sales, Austin’s DriveTime dealerships have a wide selection of vehicles to choose from. We know that it can be very difficult to get financed for a vehicle when you have poor credit, but at DriveTime we focus on getting people with bad credit into a used auto. Other dealerships may claim they can sell you a car no matter what your credit history is, but all too often this turns out to be an empty promise. That’s why you can count on DriveTime to find you a used car that you will be proud to drive!
