Save Fuel On A Paseo

[Fran]

Hi everybody!

I’ve got a (simple?) question: which is the “ideal” speed if you want to save fuel on a Paseo (1996 European model)? I mean: 90 km/h at constant speed is good or should I drive faster (where you can)?

For the same purpose, at how may rpm should I change gears? I usually put the 5th at 60/65 km/h… maybe it’s a bit low…

I drive at least 110 kms per day, 5 days a week, so you understand that even a small difference in fuel consumption can be noticeable in the long period.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ciao

Francesco

I generally change when the rev's hit 2k when i am driving to get somewhere i do a 60 mile daily commute and return around 45 MPG in my paseo. i keep the speed at an indicated 75 mph most of the time on the motoway
