Yeah its all about rpm, I never even come close to 3,000rpm barely ever 2,500. It wastes gas and tears up ur transmission for no reason. It doesn't matter if I get up to speed in 8 seconds or 15 seconds I'm still getting there at the same time in the end.

Dang, I get like 16mpg, I'm jealous . I'll blame it on 99% LA city traffic driving. I get around 250 miles per tank, seems kind of scary low to me...
