You should be able to drop her into 2nd until about 50mph, just need to bring the revs up. For a smoother ride going into 3rd will do you for most of you're city/secondary roads.

But your best bet is just to play around and watch your tac a bit... the tac says more then the speedo


i'm doing it to save gas and keep the engine healthy. i heard that if you keep driving fast at lower gears, you'll wear out your engine faster? is that correct?

mine goes to around 60 in 2nd, i think...i'll check again.
