When driving a manual car, what is the most efficient way of using the gas in terms of accelerating and shifting gears? I’ve been shifting barely over 2000rpms with real slow acceleration, would that be a good way to save gas?

I bought this car less than a week ago, and at $3.60/gallon for premium, I haven’t been stomping on it too much despite the 300+hp with a Dinan chip. I’ve been running it at very low rpms (2k) in higher gears to save fuel, especially around town. Is this going to prematurely ware out the engine/tranny?

logic detates that if the gear ratio to the RPMs of the engine are more insink the we could save MPG. For trucks/pickups there could be a hi/low transfer case to give power when needed and when power is not needed switch to higher gears and increase MPG to save fuel .

I ask because my friend who was in the passenger seat saw me shift into 4th gear while I was only going 40 kilometers(dont know what it is is in miles, maybe 28 or so?). He made the comment that I’m going to ruin my transmission going to such a high gear with the speed that low. I do this normally just to watch my speed and to save gas, is this bad? Should I indeed shift when the RPMs hit around 3? Thanks in advance for everyones input.

I would imagine so because if your on lower rpm’s, you obviously have little revolutions, thus saving gas. But I was also thinking that if you do have it on a high gear, you’ll be exerting alot of power but not using it.
