Twice a day I have to enter a highway and get from a literal standstill to full traffic speed and all across the street to the leftmost lane as fast as possible while weaving through other vehicles. Yeah, I shift to third as fast as possible and then stay there until I run out of acceleration. Most other times, I can coast with me barely feathering the throttle. Also, yes, if you do have a manual, you want to burst through the gears as fast as possible. Still get 35 mpg all city and city highway driving, haven't had a chance to do any noticeable highway driving yet.

 On the other hand, when I'm NOT forced to balls to the wall just to merge into traffic and get into the correct lane, I often skip a gear when switching from accelerating to coasting, most often I skip fourth. Last edited by Kar98; 03-10-2013 at 12:24 AM. |
