Hey guys, I recently just joined this forum and I was wonderinf If i'm doing my engine any harm by shifting at 2k and cruising aroudn 1.5k-1.8k. It's a 2.5 L 4 Cylinder 170 hp and 170 torque (mazda 3 2010 gs)
also would short burst of accelerations lasting roughly around 7 seconds maybe 3-5 x for my whole tank (round 50L) affect the gas mileage if i cruis around 1.5 to 1.8 k most of the time?
Im doing it for the reason of break in period, I was advised by a couple of mechanics i know to have short bursts of accelerations to help seat the rings(i know theres different theories about this but lets stick to mpg lol)
