1st - good for malls, parades, and going up the side of a wall
2nd - starting gear, car is faster if you start here
3rd - good for neighborhoods with speed bumps
4th - neighborhoods without speed bumps
5th - 1:1 any speed limit of 35 mph or more
6th - o/d. 45 mph or more. 2400 rpm at 70 has you looking for another gear.
Be OK in Florida with just 2nd, 4th, and 6th. Amazing thing is that my 4400 lb Jeep Grand Chrokee tow car gets better EPA mpg than the Crossfire and it runs on 87 PON.
That said it is my preferred daily driver this time of the year.
I thought you had sold that POS Crossfire and got something you think is half decent, guess not.
6th - o/d. 45 mph or more. 4800 rpm at 140 has you looking for better brakes.
