And with the increase in electric cars which have what are effectively gearless gearboxes - think CVT - then that approach really doesn't work.
Doesn't work with an auto though.I find that selecting the gear which is the first number of the lower limit you want to adhere to works fairly well on most cars.
That is 2nd for 20, 3rd for 30, 4th for 40, 5th for 50 and 6th for cruising at 60 or above.
