Good evening all,
This may be a total newbie question so please be gentle with your replies (LOL).
I have only just passed my driving test (last Friday) in a diesel car and I bought a petrol Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 Active (2008) in Metalic Grey on Sunday which was picked up on Tuesday. I must admit I think the car is lovely but it is taking me a little time to get used to it.
When I am driving at 30MPH the Rev counter is up at 30000RPM. I personally think that 30000RPM is too high and the best thing to do would be to go into 4th gear?
Any advice anyone can give in relation to MPH and gear selection with the GP 1.2 Active would be really helpful in terms of getting the best MPG. Like I said I am very new driver and I am just wishing to learn and get the best out of my car.
Kind Regards and I thank you for your time and your responses.
Stephen
