I think the lowest rpms you should cruise at safely should be about 2500 rpm. There's no reason to almost lug this engine just for muh mpg's when it runs efficiently enough when driven right. |
Mine never wants to go into first without being <5mph.
And IMO, if the engine's own tune allows it to run low enough to knock at idle and when coming to a stop, then I don't mind letting it happen a bit while modulating a tight spot in the parking lot.
I mean, even first will do it, too, in the right situations. Again, it doesn't even have to be in gear to do it! lol
