This Gear Shifting Strategy Saves You TONS OF GAS!

When driving down the road, having a good fuel economy is a plus. It is one of the best features because it not only saves money but also fuel.

Today, we'll look at when you should shift gears for the best fuel economy. Curious to know? Let’s find out!

When it comes to achieving fuel efficiency, driving habits are more important than what your car promises. When to shift gears, for example, is an important parameter to consider when calculating fuel economy.

When Should You Shift Gears for the Best Gas Mileage? When to shift gears on a manual transmission to make your vehicle more fuel efficient is a science. Who would have thought of that?

Maintaining a low RPM is critical for driving a car efficiently and efficiently using fuel. Simply put, the lower the number of rotations per minute, the better the fuel economy.

The reason for this is simple: lower revs equal lower frictions between engine parts. If you drive in first gear, your RPMs will be the highest, resulting in less fuel economy.

In contrast, when driving in fifth gear, the RPM is the lowest. When it comes to knowing when to shift gears, you'll see how moving at higher gears can help you solve the problem.

Surprisingly, the engine load is another factor that influences the vehicle's fuel efficiency. The load is analogous to opening the throttle! When you put the least amount of strain on the engine, you use the least amount of throttle.

As a result, the engine has to work hard to pull the intake air from the partially closed throttle body. A wide open throttle, on the other hand, provides the best suction and availability of intake air.

Very confusing video. Jumps all over the place.

I often use neutral if it's a rolling road with no need to stop. It reduces engine braking and forces that slow the car down are bad for fuel economy. Internal combustion engines are so lossy that low rpm is advantageous in most instances except steep hills and very high speeds (I think on steep hills if you are flooring the gas at 1500 rpm you are better off going down a gear). A lot of the power is wasted in the engine itself at town speeds and I can easily do 30 in 5th or 6th whilst feathering the throttle probably more than in 3rd or 4th. The only thing it's not good for is in hazard rich areas I have to keep slowing down with the clutch in as there is very little rpm foot room from idle.

Passing I use the lowest possible gear (unless there is very little headroom from the limiter like I'm doing 50 in 2nd gear).

What about steep hill starts especially exiting the freeway ramp in heavy stop and go traffic?

I thought this video was about gear shifting...?

A lot of words and pathos. Nothing new!!! Click bait pice of shirt.
