Question about shifting
I just wanted to know if shifting a little earlier has any effect to the engine?...and what are the pro/cons of shifting earlier/later. And also if it does save gas?

yes shifting early saves gas... the later you shift the more gas you waste because they are higher rpm's and your making the engine work more

Re: Question about shifting (Midori Green)
BUT if u shift so low that ur boggin its bad for gas to because you have to press the accelorator further. IMO gas mileage depends more on throttle position....if you use 1/4 throttle all the way to redline you will get bettter mileage that if u were to shift way low and have the pedal to the floor. corrct me if im wrong?
