God’sStrength asked:


I always hear talk about people with manual transmissions save more gas than people with automatic cars. I have the old school manual. Not this new stuff where there is no clutch. I have a clutch on mine the old school stick shift. Anyway, I’ve been trying to save gas. Do I burn more gas in a higher gear or a lower gear. Where should I keep the RPM’s when I’m driving in the higher or lower gear at that as well? Example. It redlines at 9000 RPMS. I’m trying to save gas. Should I have it halfway driving in that particular gear, and should I be driving in a high or low gear so I don’t burn as much gas?
