That's something that you have to find for yourself. You need a trip MPG readout, whether one built in to the vehicle, or a Scangauge or Ultragauge. Pick a route that you drive regularly - I used my route home from work. The trip MPG starts at zero, then check it at the same location every time. Try different techniques - accelerate hard, accelerate like a granny, etc. Keep in mind that you don't want to get in other people's way.

My truck does best when I step on it and shift at 2500 RPM.
