Using 6th gear?

Cruising at 4k sounds great. I frequently drive from the Bay Area to Long Beach at 4k. The engine sounds so great that I only use the radio to get LA traffic, and I never get drowsy. At 4k I feel at one with the car...

since darrin did my lpmms on the 97C2 its 4k revs most of the time., LOve it! But in the Boxter steady state with tiptronic in manual, the diff in fuel consumption when i zeroed the computer is amazing [increased] if you go down one gear.
Im told pumping loss on a normally asp. engine is 10-20%, and pumping loss increases with revs. that said, i love it over 3k, but use 6th >2750 rpm. I marked the tach like in the airplane, and try to keep the needle above 2750-2800.ds
