Do you save more gas in a higher gear or a lower gear?
Filed Under Maintenance & Repairs | 6 Comments
God’sStrength asked:
I always hear talk about people with manual transmissions save more gas than people with automatic cars. I have the old school manual. Not this new stuff where there is no clutch. I have a clutch on mine the old school stick shift. Anyway, I’ve been trying to save gas. Do I burn more gas in a higher gear or a lower gear. Where should I keep the RPM’s when I’m driving in the higher or lower gear at that as well? Example. It redlines at 9000 RPMS. I’m trying to save gas. Should I have it halfway driving in that particular gear, and should I be driving in a high or low gear so I don’t burn as much gas?

Jarrett asked:
I ask because my friend who was in the passenger seat saw me shift into 4th gear while I was only going 40 kilometers(dont know what it is is in miles, maybe 28 or so?). He made the comment that I’m going to ruin my transmission going to such a high gear with the speed that low. I do this normally just to watch my speed and to save gas, is this bad? Should I indeed shift when the RPMs hit around 3? Thanks in advance for everyones input.

I heard from someone that keeping the car in neutral while waiting at a stop light saves gas. (if it does work, would it be beneficial to put the fot on the brakes) Is this true? I have a 02 accord V6.

I’ve found myself constantly shifting my automatic car into neutral and just letting it coast whenever I can in order to save gas. Is this an effective technique or can I ruin my car that way?
