The answer depends on the gear ratio of the vehicle in question.
One vehicle may get better gas mileage in 3rd gear, while another may do better in 4th.
Generally speaking a lower RPM measurement while driving will yield greater efficiency, and will therefore be more economical.
This means that it would be typical to get better gas mileage in 4th gear because the engine would have to be operating at a higher RPM to do the same thing in 3rd gear.

The gear pattern on a typical 2-stroke dirt bike is often sequential, meaning the gears are engaged in a specific order. Most commonly, the pattern is: **Neutral** (between first and second gear) **First gear** (one click down from neutral) **Second gear** (one click up from neutral) **Third gear** (one click up from second) **Fourth gear** (one click up from third) **Fifth gear** (one click up from fourth, if applicable) **Sixth gear** (one click up from fifth, if applicable) So, the typical sequence for shifting is: Down for first gear from neutral Up for second, third, fourth, etc. This pattern is common across many dirt bikes, but the exact number of gears and the specific shifting pattern can vary depending on the make and model of the bike.
