What does it drop down to after shifting ?
Must be way down low !
Definitely not something you can do with every car.
OK, so I had heard about short-shifting, but never about anyone shifting that early
That's about idling speed for me ... in 4th (of 5) gears !
(FE around idling speed is horrible for me)
Surely our driving environments are vastly different, but you're getting about the same mpg from a petrol engine with more than twice the displacement of my lowly diesel !
