Not completely sure if that's optimal or not, going to see if I can set up a test of some sort once I get an mpguino.
Get an ultra gauge too. You won't regret it.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
