i just started college a week ago and i gotta take a couple highways. im usually going 80-90 at 4000+ rpm for like a good 10-20 mins at a time on my way there with some bursts of vtec (usually only when some stupid kia or some POS like that trys to race me) anyways, is that bad? i have a 95 GSR with 58k miles.

 

No its not bad.

That's cruising speed.

I wouldnt recommend standing at 6500rpm for like miles and miles, but no, 4-5k isnt bad.

 

You'd actually waste your time and gas racing a KIA? Dam the only people I ever race are cars I know that will kick my a$$, so I can see how close it was to beating them. 328, 330, V6 eclipse, GSR w/ mods, GTI VR6, A4, A6.....

 

lol, not literally a kia, but it was just for example. today some civic ex with an intake thought he could beat me...i handed his ass to him several times.

 

i cruise at ~4000 rpm for 6-8 hrs straight sometimes. 100k and still going strong

 

nice, i needed to hear that. haha thanks. any other ideas on this subject? do you have a gsr?

 

only thing I could think of is make sure your oil is up to its proper level along with your coolant. I don't have any troubles driving over 5-6k for extended periods of time (1-3 hours)

 

But isnt it true you waste gas like that? Is it conserving gas when your at a lower rpm?

 

yea, thats prob why i get ****ty gas mileage.

 

You would waste gas trying to catch up to a 330, GTI's and A4's with an RS Auto? How cheap is your gas? We're up to about $1.65 94 over here.

And at 4000, you're only at half the fun
