no... if your on the free way you should be in the highest gear possible. those are just as fast as you could go in those gears... not that you need to drive at that speed in those gears

so if im on the freeway then i should be in 2nd gear?? doesnt make sense.
Why the hell would you want to drive around at redline? Just because 2nd gear will go 60mph doesn't mean you want to cruise around at 7000 rpms. That is just the maximum speed at redline in each gear

:smackself wrong thread to walk into in the wee hours of the morning............



dude....say you are getting on the freeway...you typicaly will go faster and rev the engine higher just to get to freeway speeds. 1-4 are your drive gears with 5 being overdrive. ALL your accelerating should be in 1-4. 5 is just for fuel economy or unless your going so god damn fast that you need your 5th to go faster
 


WOW... just wow.. I am normally in 5th gear even in town lol

when u get real good u can even skip gears.. (2nd to 4th on a hard pull FTW lol)
