Thanks to getting caught in the worst blizzard around here in thirty years last Friday, I had to drive about 50 miles at my best spot - 1000 RPM in top (0.73:1 overdrive) gear. As a result of that segment I had an exemplary tank MPG. 2 MPG over normal winter mileage.

It is good living a few years in the town where your engine was built. If you know the right guys...
