yea, bring the rpms down to about 2k at 60 would be reasonable. 2k at 70 or more would be great. You could definitly bump up to mid to upper 40's, and maybe even 50's.

If your not in a hurry and would like to just cruise and enjoy the weather since spring is coming (really enjoyable. and peaceful to do this) driving even slower than 55 will help immensely. I usually drive 46-50 where the torque converter locks up, and wring out the mpg's, enjoy the peace, and everything else in between. When does it shift to last gear anyway? (speed wise)
