Today I was trying to overtake somone and they were speeding aswell so I pushed the gass a little more.
Wasnt looking at the RPM’s but then after about like 2 seconds of steady thottle, the gears shift down and the rpm’s rise like crazy and my suv jumps in speed.
When I looked at the speed i was going 90 km/h in a 50 zone lol.
but I had to overtake because there was a car in my lane parked ahead.
so why did it shift so late?
and recently the suv like when i push the gas, it reaches pretty high rpm’s or i dont know if its high, its like around 4k and then my engine makes alot of noise and then it shifts.
Shudnt it shift at a lower rpm so theres not much noise and more fuel saving?
shouldnt it shift faster?
something wrong with my suv?
Its a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder
I just noticed this recently as I only got my licence like a month ago and I dont think my parents push the car much. But I have noticed loud engine noises recently and I didnt notice it b4. like high reving

i am now a senior in high school and my parents arent getting me a car. i, however, hate having to rely on people to bring me to places i.e. school even. i just recently got a job and am planning on saving up for a stick shift because 1 i love driving them and 2 theyre cheaper. i plan on gettin a used vehicle. does anyone know which are the best, least expensive and more fuel efficient?

I have ’05 Honda (automatic) which I usually shift (drop) to neutral for e.g. while exiting freeway and get back to Drive whenever I want, my understanding is this can save some fuel. Will this damage the engine ? Experts please clarify.
Folks,
Thanks for all replies. But please give me more specific and technical explanation. I appreciate your help….

What would the typical gear shifting points be for fuel saving, average, and sport shifting points for a GT3000/stealth manual transmission?
Example:
xMPH 2nd
xMPH 3rd
xMPH 4th
and so on….
Thanks in advance
Yes, I know you typically would use RPM, but im trying to get a sense as to how it is geared.

Will I save gas if I switch to neutral whenever I can (e.g. whenever I am slowing down or stopped)? I’m driving an automatic but it’s really easy to shift to neutral.

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.
