so today I learned that ACTUALLY I'm supposed to keep the rpm meter between 1000 and 1500 RPM

ALL THE TIME for longevity


and NEVER EVER between 1500 and 2000

le YIKES!!!!! I've been driving bad for so long... so ignorantly... no wonder 1500-2000 rpms sound insufferable

<1000 = lugging btw (also a no-no zone)
