Manual? Always.
I run my tires at 40 PSI, across my whole handful of vehicles. Could go higher but meh. Met a guy while buying parts for my ‘97 who has worked in a tire repair shop most of his life and he told me 40 PSI is just about perfect. He could be wrong but I trust him in terms of balancing rolling resistance vs traction and tread wear.
I plan to sell the car to my mom once I fix up my ‘96 hatch. She would like the extra MPG from aero mods, but I highly doubt she’d enjoy a kill switch. Even for myself, I don’t really like them. My scanguage stops reading my MPG when I kill the engine, and while the real-life MPG is undoubtedly higher, it tends to read lower averages as it’s not scanning when EOC. I’ve tried to remedy this by going into hybrid mode but it immediately fudges all figures. If somebody has a fix for this, I’ll get more into EOC.
Funny enough, the car can go 200 km/h on 140 HP! I’m amazed the tape held up. Must be racing-spec packing tape.
