SpacerX

1. Within 5-10 mph of the posted speed limit.
2. Am breaking in the engine right now. Have not been taking the engine past 3.5k normally, but occasionally up to 6-8k. I will probably maintain the practice of shifting at 3.5k for most running about.
3. If it's not raining, I turn it off... usually -- when I remember to turn it off.:D
4. Varies with speed, but I work up to 6th as a general rule, if I'll be cruising for a while (e.g., 6th gear + 75mph = 3750rpm)
5. For now, factory spec -- 32psi

MazdaManiac

iTrader: (3)

3) Off in good weather

4) 4K

DemonRX-8

1. Anywhere from 10-20 mph over the posted limit on most roads. The speed comes so easily in this car!

2. Usually shift at 5-7k, depending on my mood. Redline for max acceleration runs. I usually shift straight from 4th to 6th since 4th gear will get me well above the posted speed limit anywhere in the country - then click into 6th for steady state cruising.

3. DCS off 99% of the time, unless the roads are very slick.

4. I cruise in 6th gear as much as possible whether on the hwy or off (anything above say 45 mph), so it would be whatever rpm it's turning at the speed I'm driving.

5. Tires set at factory pressure. That reminds me that I need to check them.

MBL-RX8

1. Regular roads, 5-10 above limit. Highway, 15-20 above limit.

2. Normally, 4-6k rpm. Otherwise the sky's the limit *BEEEP!* :D

3. Waiting until weather warms up before going DSC-less.

4. I shoot for 3-4k rpm, sometimes 1-2k if traffic sucks.

5. Factory 32psi.

Psylence

1. 15mph above the limit on all roads except highway. Highway, 20-50mph above limit.

2. Normal: 4-6k. Spirited? BEEP!

3. DSC is off unless there is a lot of rain.

4. 3-5k. Higher end is on the highway of course. Anyone for a taller 6th?

5. 34 for now, will be expermenting with pressures in spring when these rancid stock tires are gone.

Rotary Nut

1. 40-50 city and 60-75 highway
2. It's an automatic!
3. Yes.
4. See answer to #2.
5. 32 psi.

Unser

1. Av. Spd: 8mph over speed limit, cruise control on all the time
2.Shift RPM: 9000 in 1st, the if speed limit is not reached 9000 in 2nd, then cruise control at 8 over speed limit
3. DCS on all the time, on curves I love the 1.0 sec slip and auto control and the flashing light in the middle of the RPM conter before every shift
4. Av. RPM:highest gear possible when cruising as long as RPM is over 2500
5. 32psi, 4 tires inflated at once so pressure is 32 cold.

Elara

1) Whats your Average Speed on the Highway/Regular Roads?..

75-80, highway, 55-60 normal roads

2) What RPM Do you shift at? And in what gear (For both regular, and "Spirited" driving)

If I'm trying to get good gas mileage, 3-3.5k rpms. Most of the time(spirited, I guess), 5-6k, with a redline a day, usually in second as I launch myself onto the highway.

3)Do you leave DCS on All the time?

Usually, unless I'm trying to have fun with the car on corners

4)What is the Average RPM you drive at on the highway/Regular Roads?

As low as I can keep it- normal roads, say 2500-3000. Highway it's usually hovering at 4k rpms

5) What PSI do you keep you're tires at?

32

Ajax

1) 5-10 over when I'm paying attention to it.

2) 3500-6000. I'm still in the break in so I try to keep it lower than normal.

3) Until I get used to the car, yes.

4) <3750 (trying to save gas and learn the feel for the car)

5) Factory
