What gear do you guys sit on when your in a 50km/60km and an 80km speed limit.
i usually sit in 3rd or 4th in the 50/60 zone and 5th in the 80km zone.its just the fuel usage is huge sometimes. |

I use 3rd until 60 - 70 (depending on the road, i'll stick in 3rd till 80 or so if it's uphill on a main road) and don't use 5th ever, only on the freeway to sydney which is 110 the whole way...
