I know for sure I should avoid going past 4600 rpms when accelerating, to avoid dumping gas. And for the best A:F ratio i should go no higher than 2500rpms in general when accelerating. Oddly enough, My engine spins at 2500 rpms at 55mph. Not bad.

You just gave me an excuse to get the Mustang and Insight on a dyno!

Err, reason...
