[QUOTE="Glocker, post: 608650, member: 255"] Changing gears below your 'peak' torque is not good for your fuel consumption. For example, if you're changing from 1st to 2nd to 3rd then 4th before maintaining speed and cruising in 5th at 2500rpm, you will have to open up more throttle to maintain acceleration. This of course will make the ECU inject more fuel to compensate for sucking in more air to maintain A/F ratio......... ........I think. :D I've tried the 2500rpm shifting method and my fuel consumption got worse!!!
