Also, The donkey CRX posted in his build thread that he tries to avoid 4th gear whenever possible. I've tried doing the same -- get up to speed in 3rd then skip to 5th in situations where it's feasible.
Lol, I thought I was the only one who does that. If I'm going to be cruising at 55 mph I never use 4th, I jump straight from 3rd to 5th. I only use it to get on the freeway where I need to merge at around 70 mph

Your gas tank will hold around ten gallons, so you should be able to do close to 650 miles on your next tank. I don't even think about getting gas until I've been at one bar for a while, I've driven 20 miles on zero bars before
