[QUOTE="TheTallGuy, post: 7686555, member: 9121"] Back when I learned to drive it was that the vehicle should be in the most appropriate gear for the situation to give maximum control of the speed of the vehicle. Or as my instructor put it, changing the position of the throttle pedal should always result in a change of speed... if you're using a too high gear then you're too near to idle speed for speed reduction & if you're using a too low gear then you're outside the power band to accelerate or close to the limiter as well as wasting fuel. This modern thing of driving "economically" by being in the highest gear possible is, in my opinion, wrong & is a false economy. [/QUOTE]
