I know it may be a little late on the day for me to revise my gear changing and use on my van and car, but that's what I'm doing to see if I can optimise my fuel economy and engine efficiency and long-levity.

My problem has always been keeping the rpm down which is bad for tje engine. So far it's working, but it's hard to change your driving habits.

A while back an #environment activist on here (alas, their toot disappeared in timeline) was trying to work out how many people in UK regularly #drive - it is hard to get accurate data!

There are about 34 million private #cars in UK of 42 million #vehicles including #vans, #lorries, #buses, #motorcyles and anything else that needs registration mark from #DVLA GB or #DVA NI

About 43 million people in GB (excluding NI) hold a full #DrivingLicence - but not reliable data for number of drivers as these records include people who have died or emigrated!

And some folk own more than one #vehicle, others have a licence but don't drive - I'd guess at figure for private car drivers being around 25-30 million, but levels of #motoring will vary wildly between regions
