[QUOTE="Eugenics, post: 2027990, member: 562095"] generally you will lose economy, because when you're driving agressively you're in a lower gear which means you're engine is spinning more revolutions in relation to how far its going then it would be in say the overdrive gear. HOWEVER if you accelerate quickly to get your car into the overdrive gear earlier (for instance speed upto 65 as quickly as you can on the onramp then go into overdrive) you're saving yourself gas by going to the highergear early instead of accelerating in lower gears at high revolutions. make sense? im hungover, so i'll revise this later. but the just of it is still there. feel free to debate it with me as this is just my theroy based upon logic but it could be flawed.
