With years of hands-on experience, I confidently shift to the highest gear possible—even in busy city traffic—to keep RPM low and efficiency high.
I always prioritize the tallest gear ratios feasible for smoother, more economical driving.
For example, cruising at a steady 50 km/h, I effortlessly use fifth gear instead of dropping to fourth or third, with no strain on the engine.
Driving at low revs is a proven strategy to slash fuel costs and consumption. Engines demand less power to maintain constant speeds at lower RPM, making high gears viable even at modest velocities.
For even greater savings, I shift into fifth gear without hesitation, right in urban environments—real-world results confirm the difference.
