Differentpointofveiw- Mine is a manual trans and at 55 it is turning 2500 rpms but at 60 the engine is just beginning to sound like it's working at about 2750-2800. I don't find driving 55 a problem as there is little traffic and I just crank up the classical music an let the trees (mostly national forest) drift by and it's a lot easier to avoid all the deer at that speed at night (rotating shift work) and only adds about 5 mins to the drive and it's great for relaxing after work. Each tank has gotten a little better as I try different things. I started at 32.5 mpg and the last tank, yesterday was 36.2. I'd like to set a goal of 40 mpg for now and am looking at a scan gauge. I have kept a log from the first tank. Thanks to you all for the welcome and the ideas. I can see the challenge in this with all the variables, I like that.
