I used to be very mindful of the fuel economy for a brief period of time where I was having to make 100 mile round trips every few days. I analyzed 3K and above driving and 2500 -3000 RPM driving.
The final analysis was that it saved me little in the bigger picture of engine care/longevity.
Porsches have a near fail safe way of guaranteeing that what you think you're saving here ends up costing you more elsewhere. I concluded its best to save money elsewhere in my finances.
