Who’s doing what now?

You’re driving at 32 mph
Automatic transmission usually ‘shifts’ at 35
fuel/engine life is it better to drive fast enough to ‘shift’ or stay at 32?

I was told there would be no math

Let Me Google That

For all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question than to google it for themselves.

Yeah... after you get past the 4-5 ads that tell you things like "Low foot fungus prices on EBay!"... then you get the blogs that say things like "What the CDC doesn't want you to know! Soak your foot on Drano, and wrap your foot in tin foil!"

This is an old car question. New cars have enough gears and enough controller processing power to render this a non-issue. What car, specifically, are you asking about? Is there a grade? Wind? What altitude are we at?

It was actually more of a question when I had a Kia forte
Now vw Jetta is much smoother and rpm don’t change much whatever I do

Your question is roughly analogous to, "What shoes for dancing?" with no additional context.
Both a grade, or a significant wind change the answer to your question, but in general, less fatigue, but lower mileage in the lower gear, but better mileage with more fatigue in the higher.

To answer your question, I don't think you can get both in one product. If you want sheers that allow light in, they won't be ideal for blocking sun to keep heat out. I know this because I've researched it extensively. I have 16' ceilings in my apartment and floor to ceiling windows everywhere that face east & west. In the morning my bedroom is hot AF and in the pm, the living & dining room is a sauna. You are better off getting roll down shades and then adding some light curtains on top.

I have roll down shades that are not opaque. Looked into curtains for here but they would cost a fortune and I don't plan on being here after my lease is up this year (been here 7 years) so don't want to invest in curtains for a place I will be leaving.

I love the EE for asking questions. It's like Reddit filtered down to a smaller amount of strangers who have great taste in football team. There is a lot of nonsense on here but that's what makes it great. Something for everyone.

I also second this one, too!

Let's try.

@guidomerkinsrules , what shoes for dancing?

I wore shoes maybe 4% of the time I danced
Thick cotton no show socks are best for ballet (wood floor)
Thin cotton for Marley flooring
