Was speaking to a friend few days ago and got on to the topic of what revs people change gear at, I had a friend that complained to me he used alot of petrol driving to work every day, he gave me a lift home one day and I noticed he took the car to 4000 revs every time he changed gear, to me thats excessive for normal driving.
Alot of you will have auto so you dont choose exactly when the car changes but those of you with manual ok I know some will take no notice but was woundering what alot of you change at on normal driving. Diesels would be the lowest because they pic up from very low revs, another thing is what revs the car does at speed, my Dads friend was telling me his C250 TD does really low revs at 90mph but cant remember how many, someone here would be able to tell me!
