A buddy of mine says it is bad to keep your car running under 1800rpms because the engine has to struggle to keep the car moving. I was wondering if anyone has an input on this I just tired it cut off 1.5mpg on a tank so with gas prices like they are I dont wanna keep doin it unless its extreamly bad for my car if any I know with the 1st to 4th thing it will put my car well under 1000rpms so if it was bad for the car you would think GM wouldnt have done it like that

your buddy must drive a honda.......our cars have so much torque that its a cake walk to run 1300 RPM crusing. hell the manual tells you to shift to 6th at 50 MPH.

i dont feel right driving under 1500 rpms though, especially not with a large cam
