HWY driving
Hey guys..question about crusin on the hwy..is it ok to drive 100kph in 6th gear or should it be in 5th? I'm worried that I might be driving with the rpm too low. This is with the 3.0 & @ 100 it's just under 2400rpm it's that 100-120kph range that I'm confuised on which gear I should be driving in.

Re: HWY driving
that is no problem
i do 60 kph in 6th gear sometimes...
if ur coasting, and ur rpm is low, u will get better gas mileage...
also put less stress on the engine, and other parts...
so yea... by all means, coast, u dont HAVE to redline every gear.

Drive in such a way that you never have to step on the accelerator and feel the engine knocking while struggling!
If the road is flat and the engine purrs along, you are in the right gear!
