I know that speeds above 40mph (60ish kph), open windows create more drag and can cause an increase of fuel consumption.

Ako I just use the fan and set it to the coldest setting for outside air. Malamig naman dito (malamig lamig pa rin, pero umiinit na kaya AC na ko madalas)...

35mph (56kph) is roughly the most economical speed to run in the city. Alam ko a lot of people in Manila drive at 40kph (25ish mph).

Nuong nag-iisa ako sa pagpasok sa trabaho at pag-uwi, I only drove my car thrice a week - MWF, and commute on TTh.

i think ok lng naman kung every other day mo gagamitin oto mo pero does anyone use their car ng mas madalang? 2wing kelan dapat patakbuhin makina para maiwasan bumagsak langis kung ginagamit lng yun oto ng weekends?

As soon as you turn off the engine bumabagsak na ang langis mo sa oil pan. Much faster ito kasi mainit at malagnaw ang oil pag ganito kaya advice is pag change oil warm up dapat ang engine. Overnight malamang nasa ilalim na lahat ng oil ng car mo. I have a samurai that I use once a week for coding and a "little" trailing. Always start on the first click.

up shifting too early is not good though. as you shift too early, you push the pedal deeper.

The rule of thumb in driving efficiently is to step on the pedal as if there were bits of broken glass on it such that if you step hard, it will be painful. From my experience, I learned that I should only shift if I can afford to step on the pedal very lightly.
