What driving style is healthier for a car?
Mainly, I want to know what the ideal "RPM" is for an engine to work and also at what RPM is it best to shift up a gear. Always speaking about the cars health and not fuel economy.

Like someone else said, the lower RPM you operate the engine the longer it will last, generally. At low RPM you often have less acceleration, but you get better gas milage and the equipment generally lasts longer. Last edited by ales; 01-23-2005 at 04:03 PM.
