>>28887507Maybe don't buy a gutless piece of shit next time. Buy something with longer gears and torque so you don't have to shift as much.
works on my machinewhat car are you driving?

>>28887507You forgot about downshifting while braking for better engine braking
>>28887507>American
>>28887507Where are you going getting all the way to 6th and back to a stop in rapid succession? Why are you not engine braking?I rarely get past 3rd in town. 4th only if it's a bigger road. 5th mostly slower highways and backroads and 6th is just an interstate gear. If I'm lucky I might see low 20s MPG.
>>28887507A true pro down shifts through all gears never coming to a stop thus saving fuel and making traffic flow better.
>>28887507>Brake>Neutral
>>28887507I live in an area with hills. It's nice to have the engine braking instead of riding my brakes on a downhill. I also like not relying on an automatic to select the gear for me. I can choose the gear I'm about to need to sprint around the idiot that can't maintain his speed before he blocks me yet again from changing lanes.

>>28888331That level?Not long if you actually want it.I live in a country where manuals are more common, but most NPCs don't do this. They shift up when the engine gets loud and down again when they stop at a light or the engine rpm drops too much, they step on the clutch when rolling towards a stop, ...It's not that a manual automatically makes a good driver or an automatic makes a bad one ..
>>28888351>they step on the clutch when rolling towards a stopI frequently put it in neutral and coast toward the light because fuck the law.
>>28888398i don't do this because of the legality of it but rather because if i see some tool either in front of or behind is about to fuck me sideways i can still accelerate to avoid them if needed
>>28887507Sounds like you don't enjoy driving.
>>28887507god those shiftgates are beautiful
>>28888398>I frequently put it in neutral and coast toward the light because fuck the law.You're doing it wrong. Knocking it in neutral burns fuel because the engine idles. The trick is to put it in the highest gear that keeps you above idle, doing so keeps the engine turning with minimal resistance so you don't have to burn fuel.
>>28888398You are waisting fuel by coasting instead of engine braking. Let the wheel turn the engine on a downhill slope and by maximizing this effect I've gotten hybrid levels of mpg but only in the most optimistic circunstances.
>>28889272>>28889273This is true. It doesn't use any fuel if you engine brake with no throttle. It does require fuel to idle. I have verified this with picrel.Not actually a big difference, but if you're going for a high score mpg you've got to do it.
>>28889273I can afford the few hundred feet of idling fuel consumption.
>>28889281Yeah but... engine braking also usually sounds really nice. Technically using neutral also wears your brake pads 0.0007% more, but no one would possibly care. I do both depending on the situation, if I know the light cycle and think slowing down early will let me get the green, instead of coming to a stop I can engine brake waaay out and the light turns green and I can start in 3rd while the people that passed me came to a full stop and I pass them in the intersection.
>>28887507>shift my way up to 6th within half a minute>stay there for 3hours in cruise control>stop when im homethank god im driving manual i need to be involved in the driving if not i fall asleep.
>make the gear ratios really long>super long>never have to shift past 1stget my level nerds
>>28889353this waa actually the goal and main selling point of early fuckhuge v16 and whatsnot cars, to have so much low end grunt you could lurk around in the city at idle and still cruise the highway with as few gears as possibly. two was peak, 3 was meh, 4 was poorfag 4 banger.
>>28889287You and I employ the same method. I just have to coast sometimes on a slight downhill simply to spite the government and their unnecessary laws.

>>28887507it's more fun the more autistic you are. also similarly the more angry this post makes you the more autistic you are.
>>28887507Wait till you hear the lovely sound this retarded antiquated transmission makes when you mis shift and grind it or do a money shift
>>28889441but where is the best retard?
>>28889464>money shiftIt seems to me you have to be very drunk or taking small arms fire to accidentally do this.
>>28889527If you have an aftermarket short shifter it's actually quite easy, especially if you are driving at the limit

>>28887507Most cars you'd get away with 1st 3rd 5th or alternatively 1st 2nd 4th 6th.Or even skipping two gears depending on the situation... it's not set in stone...you shift to whichever gear you need at any given time...Kids...

>>28887943This. He probably glides it along in neutral while riding the brakes, while wiggling the shifter all the time like a true n00b

For most casual driving, I go 1 > 2 > 3 > 6 to cruise.
>>28888349Relatively new F150? My boss has one and the thing was thrashing him on the highway randomly selecting gears.
>>28890298I've been driving manual for 18 years and I still do this. I like the feeling of coasting in neutral that you don't get in an auto.I guess that's what's the most fun about manual, you can drive it the way you want to drive it.
>>28887507You have to use the clutch anon , you're fucking it up
