Driving in 3rd
I started doing it yesterday. Immediately noticed better off-the-line response, but since I shift into D at 40+ mph, I don't think it will hurt gas mileage so much. That's because the engine was having to work harder to pull those tall gears at 25-30 mph anyway. I'll run checks starting with the next fill-up.
