5th gear @2000 rpm's (throttle 3/4 of the way open)
This artical is saying that 5th will do better for FE is this correct? I really feel like it bogs down alot and waists gas when in 5th at 3/4 throttle...

If your engine computer is set up so that it goes into Wide-Open Throttle open loop at 3/4 throttle, then... you'll see more gas being used. My engine computer does this... stupid engine computer.
