ive never really delt with a stick shift before, and i was just wondering, ive been putting it in 5th gear while going about 40 mph, the car dosent accelerate very good in these conditions, understandibly. i wanted to know, since the rpms don't go up proportionatly with the gas pedal, am i still using more gas? is it more economical to drive in say 4th or 3rd? is it bad for the engine to go in 5th while at that speed? it idles about 800 rpms, it stays at 1400 in 5th. thanks in advance.
