stngllhm Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 higher gear,lower rpm=better MPG and leave your crusie on as much as possible if you have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsmiths Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 '87 GL 5spd D/R Whitefish to Baltimore (58 hours) ... and return. 70-75 all the way, 5th gear, except 4th to pass, and two or three hills on the whole route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 4th gear, 3500-4000 RPMs, 70-80mph depending on terrain/wind/traffic/etc. Only time I've used 5th since the lift and tires was coming down that huge hill from Hudson WI to MN border! It's worth 29" tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
