i got a 99sh and I drive my car mostly on the highway 50 mph or up i rarely drive city speeds i was just wondering if its better driving at high speeds all the time then driving at lower speeds like 40 and under.

isnt going a constant speed better than stop and go driving?

3k rpm in 5th gear or 60mph has been the magic number for most mpg

I just thought it meant less clutch wear

your car only uses ~20hp to stay at 65mph constantly.

your car uses between 50-150hp to go from 0 to 45 to 0 to 45 to 0 to 45, depending how fast you speed up and what gears you use while doing so.
