[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 6894104, member: 11681"] I think you can a strike compromise and get better fuel economy. I use very low operating RPMS for steady state cruise conditions, IE ULTRA LIGHT throttle. If I need to accelerate, I drop a gear even for medium to light acceleration, but if I'm just going down the road at the same speed, I am often under 2k. Lugging while attempting to accelerate is where you will hurt stuff. I also coast a lot when there are lots of lights or stop signs. I look way up the road to see what's going on, If I see brake lights or a traffic signal go yellow or red, I'm coasting.:beer: [/QUOTE]
