do the math you will save fuel.. how can Uncle Isaac Newton be wrong

on a serious note, as it has been said in previous posts you only use fuel when your right foot is down, so be gentle with it. If I drive with a heavy foot I get 300kms out of a tank of gas around town, if i drive it nice and gentle i get over 400 kms from the tank. I also look at it this way, I am bigger than 90% of those little 4 and 6 banger sedans, if they dont like the fact that im driving like grandma they can over take me.

In saying this though, flooring it to beat a Toyota Landy of the lights, somtimes overrides the above mentioned tips ( we cant have those toyo drivers thinking they are superior now can we)

Using a high gear is good so long as the engine isn't labouring otherwise thats going to use more fuel also. I'm with mojo71, drive like a grandma and keep it in the optimum rev range unless there is a reason not too... Toyota drivers
