What is redline on our car? I think i've rev'd up to 5k before.... but no clue what redline is... 6k? 6.5k? No stock tach makes it hard to know.

I've noticed that accelerating on a highway balls to the wall once or twice a tank doesn't have much of an impact on total fuel economy... it'll lower it for the trip by a few mpg's... but over the course of 400-500miles on a full tank it is hard to notice.

On my stock tach, it looks like 6200.

And vigorous acceleration has little effect on mileage IF you stay out of the range where it enrichens the mixture (above about 80% load), don't go any faster (just get up to it quicker) and don't use it to increase your average speed between frequent stops. Zooming up to a brisk speed and then standing on the brakes is stupid; it drains your tank.
