I guess I was a lil overengrossed in the fuel economy gauge.Somehow that needle seems to want to dictate my right foot.

Ok, so I presume that it is not too wise an idea getting the foot too much off the gas pedal when the trans shifts, reason being that the deceleration puts a lot of load on the trans. Right? Makes lots of sense to me though, thanks.

Well, I drive casually most of the time too, but I just had this nagging thought that if there IS a better way of controlling the gas pedal, maybe I ought to know it. So at least I can justify to myself why I do it this way.

And err.....any more views on what gear to engage in during stoplights?

Cheers,
