most fuel efficient way to drive is to shift as early as possible and sit in as high a gear as possible

*Without labouring or pinging.

I rev match when downshifting all the time. Mainly 'cuz I'm a Takumi wannabe. Razz Heel-toe, heel-toe. Sometimes I have downshift to first, as my car rolls a hell of a lot around corners and it's surprisingly easy to understeer the damned thing if I enter a little too fast. And what with it's total lack of torque what so ever I have to rev to get it moving in the kinda way I want it to. So yeah, it just takes practice to match the box up to the engine between changes, especially when going from second to first.

Oh yeah I drive a 1992 CB Lancer with worn shocks and an old tired bitsamissing engine.

Okay, now start flaming me for driving a shit car like I'm racing. *puts on flame suit* Laughing


Tis true, he dose heel-toe, poor abused cb lancer...
