Wanting fuel economy when you can't drive fast does not mean you drive slowly!
If I have a car in front or am at 60ish in a 60 limit what the **** is the point sitting in 3rd gear?
If I'm in slow moving commuter hour traffic and I can keep up with traffic at 1.5k rpm, why would I waste fuel and drive around like a **** at 5k rpm?
If I can in these situations where speed is neither appropriate nor possible, I save fuel and amuse myself trying to get as high an MPG as I can.
Give me clear road and I'll usually, though not always get the rev light on until I get to the speed limit (ish).
