As long as I stay within the 25-30MPG range, I will be happy(while having lots of fun) Now on the freeway I constantly find myself in 4th keeping the rpms high to hear the sweet music the little 2.0L boxer engine makes. This also allows me to punch it for passing and maneuvering in traffic. Anyone else find themselves doing this now?
Your driving habits are changing but unfortunately they're going from good to bad. You're really abusing your car. However, that's o.k. because it's yours to do with what ever you want.
