3rd for only a few seconds? 3rd is all about the mega ultimax speed breaker merge then 4th is all about destroying all of the competition on the 401. Coasting 5k rpm in 3rd on on-ramp ready to play, then still ablaze upshifting to 4th all the way to 7.3k rpm.

....... pay attention ....... this is what you said up in post #307:
"Aren't variable compression ratio engines like brand new?" Now, I know what you meant ....... but, there are some folks on this thread that have massive misconceptions about a lot of things ....... so, it's best not to confuse them. Are your "sessions" helping with your ADD ....?? humfrz |

Troll Post warning
If I were to have a friend drive my car for the day restricted to 50mph. Id rather he/she do that 50 mph in 5th gear instead of 3rd. At this point your asking what I have to contribute to this thread, the answer is nothing. I don't science as well as you guys do. Carry on. |

So would I but not because I was worried they are going to wear my engine out faster but simply because it is a better place to be. I wouldn't want to see my nice 32mpg average destroyed more than anything.

I was going to consider getting into a 2017/2018 instead of keeping my 2014, but honestly those high revs would be annoying and more costly. It's not worth the marginally better off-the-line performance.

Buys a sports car. Worries about cruising at 2,000 rpm to reduce unnecessary wear.
I am actually not all that fond of my MPG since it is a true indicator of how rarely I get to play.
