How does the car feel sluggish when cruising? I agree with Decep. Why spin high revs for literally no reason other than to put extra wear on the engine and burn extra fuel. I run 6th at 50 even. If I anticipate the need to accelerate I will run a lower gear but not if I’m cruising for 15mins at a time. A big part of why the auto guys get better MPG is because the auto isn’t a dummy cruising at 35mph turning 4500rpm.
