5th around town? (MT)
Hey,
Anyone ever notice that the Fit seems comfy in 5th gear at lower speeds than many cars (that I've driven)? Say you're cruising at 30, you can pop it into 5th and it hums along just fine, as long as you don't accelerate. So is anyone getting better fuel economy by using 5th in situations where it would be more convenient just to stay in 4th (like around town, where you'll have to constantly shift down to 4th, then back up to 5th as traffic fluctuates)? It seems to bring the meter up a bit, but I'm wondering if real world numbers would show it being worthwhile. . .
