Thanks again for all your advices.

Totally. As MCS is a mini car with a powerful engine. During the urban driving, the FC should be higher if u keep riding in gear between 2nd and 4th. Recommending u to use a higher gear frequently such as gear 5th, better gear 6th when the road condition is smooth even in the urban.
