Is using 5th gear at 40mph messes up my engine?
I was driving with my friend the other day, and he yelled at me for using the fifth gear when i was going like 44 mph, I usually use it after 40 mph if driving on an even payment, however if its slightly up the hill I use 4th or even 3rd. He claims that he only uses the 5th on his Scion after 60 mph. Should i listen to him? cuz i think the manual said after 45 mph it was alright to use 5th. what are the most fuel efficcient speeds to change the gears, considering you're driving on a even payment?
