Hi everyone,
First time as a poster, but i've been looking around for quite a few month... well ever since I bought my new truck, a Jeep Wrangler 2004.
I know that it's a brick and that it isn't made to be fuel efficient, but I can have a dream if I want to
Well anyway, I just found something yesterday that made me think about my driving habit.

With this information here, I compared myself with the graphic.
Usualy, on city road I get to my highest gear possible with the lowest rpm possible, which is 5th gear at 1100 rpm, I acheive 35 mph easily. I usualy shift at about 2000rpm
On the Highway I get 60 mph at 2100 rpm in fifth gear.
Now I'm wondering, Am I driving in a rpm not high enough so much that I'm wasting fuel somewhere?
With those rpm, will I get higher MPG in town?
Still quite confused here...
Could someone point me the light with his infinite knowledge of car mechanics
