My mistake on the engine model. Still, that's a mound of torque!
I've learned lately (from a Dodge Avenger rental) that despite speed or RPM drop,
wind speed has a huge impact on the final MPG tally (especially on highway trips).
It helps to slow down too
By the way, do you have a ScanGauge or similar feedback device? If not, it's highly recommended so you can get a real-time look at a variety of factors.
Enjoy your journey to 25...
