Normal non motorway "plodding along" driving I'm between 1000 and 2500 rpm
If I'm wanting a brisker journey I tend to change gear around 3-3500 rpm so that in the next gear the revs are circa 1800 rpm cos peak torque (AKA Pulling power!) is around 2000rpm and so get good acceleration without reving it too much, which in turn helps the MPG!
BUT, if I'm in :twisted: mode, then its simply pedal to the metal and go with the rear tyres [The Mask Voice on/]

Which reminds me, do others have as much fun as I do with "tail end out sideways" driving when you're after a bit of fun. Obviousley not on busy roads or in built up areas.
I find it very controllable, being able to throw the back end out as and when I want, but being able to bring everything back into line when needed.
Hmmmmm, this makes me sound like a 20 yr old boy racer rather than the 40 yr old fart I really am!
