Thanks I'll look into the Ultragauge - I wondered when I bought the car whether this was the original tranny. I asked about the engine and the previous owner replied that it was original - my rpms seem to settle around 2500rpm at 65mph and at 61 mph around 2300rpm. Not sure if this is normal. Most of my driving is a commute to work at 70 miles one way - I generally avoid the stop and go of traffic by leaving early in the AM and leaving earlier in the afternoon. But, it does feel like I should be posting higher numbers. Thanks - I may not know for sure until I get a MPG gauge inplace. Now, I'm second guessing my decision to remove the rear spoiler again that can be one I test with a mpg gauge.
