November 12th, 2004 10:57 AM #11... well that was something he tried anyway
and anyway on philippine roads that would not apply but it would be best to apply certain driving techniques then just maintaining an economical speed, depends din kc kung taga saan ka, I live in pque city and most of the way to the office is expressway + edsa and these are not that traffic so for that driving around 80kph would be economical....

what do you think the most economical(fuel) speed is on our roads? considering the road conditions,traffic,sometimes no traffic, etc...
out of town drives, I normally shift at 3k RPM on easy driving which normally means, at least for me, 80kph at 5th gear.
Pero kapag good open roads, like some good stretch going to bicol, I shift at 4k RPM.

As much as possible, you shift at the point where it will get you into the next gear without dragging the engine. For me, this is just below 2000rpm, while it's around 1200rpm for a diesel. For smaller engines, it's slightly higher. And it's not just what rpm you shift at... it's how smoothly you get there. Use as little of the gas pedal as possible.
best speed is between 60-90kph, depending on how aerodynamic your car is, and what rpm it needs to hold that speed.
BTW, Jeremy Clarkson was driving an Audi V8 diesel... with a big tank... he got almost 14 km/l... but it was a good stunt.Last edited by niky; November 12th, 2004 at 12:55 PM.

The most economical speed would be 60-80km/h driving in top gear. Give the adjustment for minus/addition of gearings for trannys and ring gears.

An A/T can be driven on top gear while travelling at 60-80km/h speed. Gradual and light step on accelerator and feel the engine response slowly rising rpm to 1500-2000 (depending on engine/tranny). It should shift up and be able to cruise economically.
