At what RPM do you shift for normal driving...
hey, I jsut wanted to see what rpm people shift at during normal driving.
Mine -
1st to 2nd at 3000rpm
2nd to 3rd at 3500rpm
3rd to 4th at 3500 rpm
4th to 5th at 3500rpm
5th to 6th at 4000rpm

normal driving i try to keep it under 3750 RPM's for the best mileage but that's hard so i try to shift before 5k unless i'm "burning the carbon out" then 9k FTW

/\ an interesting thing about a boosted car vs an NA car .
Boosted = safer
When I was N/A and wanted a bit of a thrill i would wind it out in 2nd to 9000 rpm .In a built up area this put me at double the legal speed limit .
Now with boost all i have to do to get the same (better) thrill is mash the throttle for maybe 2 seconds at maybe 4000 rpm .
Only slightly over the speed limit .
So Boosted = safer
We Kiwis are very logical ....

Under 3500 rpm until coolant & oil are up to temps.
Still wondering if it gets better mpg switching up to 5th/6th gear when cruising at 60/70 km/hr or to leave it in 4th and at a higher rpm but still under 3,500 rpm.
Up to 9000 a few times a week when the roads are clear and I have no passengers.
