An experienced driver should know if engine is struggling, and dependent too if you're going up a hill say.

If not the QQ shows a display in centre of 2 dials showing a number and an UP or DOWN arrow if you're in too low or too high a gear.

Hello, I would say 3 - 4. Depends whether you are driving up the hill or down the hill.

To be honest if you dont know what gear to be in at a particular speed then you shouldnt be driving. This question has been asked before a couple of times on here, both times by new members as their first posts, then they never post again, which makes me think its just someone trolling the site for a laugh. If, and I do say if, the post is genuine then the car itself indicates when the optimal time to change gear is.
