Lots of engine-off coasting. And yes, very low RPM. I upshift at 2000-2200 RPM. I'm usually cruising at 1500 RPM in 4th gear. Which is about 40 MPH. Not using 5th gear much these days. It's too tall! I need to be going at least 45 MPH to use 5th gear on flat ground. Great on the highway though! Also very little braking or idling.
