Yeah my car stays in 3rd gear too long. At 45 it was in 3rd so my gas mileage dipped a little. I did another run at 50 mph with my car in 3rd gear instead of 4th to see the drop in mpgs. I got under 40 mpg for that run. I would really like it if my car would let me shift a little after 40 mph because I think I would be able to get great gas mileage at that speed.
