Check this out. This ZX2 owner fixed the problem by creating his own gears for a "Taller Overdrive." If his idea only came in a kit, ZX2 owners would get better gas mileage across the nation. Here's the link: http://mypeoplepc.com/members/tleone/gears/ That seems a little high for me, but my vehicles are all a little bigger than an escort. Small engines are usually coupled to a lower ratio differential so that they can get a more advantageous gearing.

Can you drive your 1994 Toyota celica at 3500 rpm on 4th gear?

I don't see why not. The normal cruising speed of 100 km/hr ( 62 mph ) in 5th gear is accomplished at around 3200 rpm, and celica has a high revving engine. Max torque doesn't arrive until you hit about 4200 rpm. i own a 92 celica, I love this little car, but there is just not enough power in lower rpm range.

Which is the correct drive gear for city and highway driving on a 1990 Honda Accord EX?

whaat? well if its automatic, then just put it in d or d4 and it will be automatic. Since it is an old car you don't want to have the engine go at high rpm's usually above 3500. So on the highway keep it at the lowest gear, 5th for a stick. and shift the gear when you hit 3000 rpm's.
