I have been wondering for a long time******

PSS: How old is everyone here? Just wondering, Im 19, turning 20 on July 25th
Yes, P&G still works in an auto that you can't EOC in. 60 to 50 might not necessarily be the best choice of speeds, though.

BTW - still 24.

Oh - I didn't really document it, but I did some P&G in Granny for awhile... didn't really amount to anything, but that was varying speeds from 60-45, 65-45, 55-40, etc... trying different things, but I didn't get any real results that I could safely attribute to anything. In Granny, it was better to just leave her in gear, since the tranny basically goes into neutral on it's own.
