Re: Shifting to Neutral?
Don't worry the car is not even broken in yet. My car didn't start getting
optimal gas mileage until 20,000 miles. These engines are very well built
and have great wear characteristics. Give it time and it will improve. By
the way my car is an 94 Acura GS-R that I have raced occasionally and has
125,000 miles original engine and still gets 30 MPG highway. Point is it
takes time to break the motor in and if you take care of it, it will last
forever.
