[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 2167560, member: 7315"] [b]NO..again[/b] Sorry to sound like I'm picking on you guy..BUT...you just don't seem to understand gearing in these cars. Low RPM (under 2000 rpm) IS NOT smoother, quieter, more economical or does it promote longevity. It is actually..HARMFULL..to your engine! All motors have a maximum efficency range, BELOW it & all you do is stress the motor & operate it INEFFICIENTLY. In my previous post, I spoke of the 22-2700 sweet spot. In that range the car is SMOOTHER, QUIETER, M-O-R-E ECONOMICAL & will last LONGER. If you drive along @ 1800 RPM & attempt to accelerate (that is why I bought MY car..not to worry about the price of gasoline). As stated by others 4.10 gears have little or NO EFFECT on gas mileage..& besides, if 5 mpg one way, or the other, effects your life..BUY A F..KING...PRIUS! :bash: [/QUOTE]
