SWEET! Good job!

My Ford can easily do 40 MPG at 35-45 MPH on the flat roads around town.
But in the real world traffic, the average is quickly pulled down to 24 city..
Amazingly, the AT will shift up to 6th gear at fairly low speeds.

During some test drives on Rt-95, I've actually done some 40 mpg using
the cruise control set in the 55 mph range.. During a work day too!
I was amazed that no one rear-ended me..
