BDifficulty 2/5

As general IDAE efficient-driving guidance, at what engine speed is changing up usually advised in a manual petrol car when conditions allow?

Correct answer

Between 2000 and 2500 revolutions per minute

Between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm. This is efficient-driving guidance, not a legal requirement or a universal instruction from every manufacturer. Adapt it to the engine, manufacturer guidance, gradient and power needed for a safe manoeuvre; do not force a high gear that prevents proper vehicle control.
