I'm watching the instant and avg mpg on the scan-II. I noticed this morning that in 5th gear almost lugging the motor is when I'm getting the most mpg. Just my conceptial thinking but it seems to me the car would be more efficient if i down shifted and ran a lil higher rpm without lugging it. According to the SGII, lugging it in 5th gear had higher mpg's. So I was in 5th gear doing 40mph with the SGII instant mpg in the upper40's.
