Thread: In what rev range do you drive your puma?

Normal driving: 2000-3000RPM range.

In Sydney peak hour operating rpm would be:

Clutch In - 1st Gear
Clutch Out - Idle rpm forward a distance of 3-6 foot
Clutch In - Neutral
<repeat for next 90 minutes>

Same here,not even in peak hour,often on the weekends

As for the Puma,as said 2-3K.

My Puma is happy anywhere from 1800 to 2700 rpm I don't thrash it and probably don't drive it hard enough

One of the big reasons why I was (partly) happy to get out of Sydney. I lived near one of Sydneys busiest roads and dreaded driving anywhere.

I once drove to a carwash about 10 kms up the road. After about 40 minutes and only getting halfway, I turned around and headed back.

I do miss Sydney, but certainly not the traffic and plethora of traffic lights.

I've often heard it said that the best thing about Sydney is the road out.

But when you're retired, and are able to be a bit more flexible, you tend to select the times you travel around Sydney which makes it more bearable.

Just put it in low/1st, then head down the back of the car and make a cup of tea
