I'm having a difficult time getting near my last tank average of 37 MPG. So far, my UltraGauge shows that I'm only averaging 32.6 MPG.

The thing that is annoying me is that I have to keep my throttle position/engine load at a certain range to prevent my car from slowing down on flat to slightly elevated terrain and thus slipping out of overdrive. I have to keep it over 17 TPS and 55 % engine load unless I'm going on a downgrade. Due to these higher numbers, my instantaneous MPG is showing upper 20s to low 30s.


What am I doing wrong here? I'm using DWL with no A/C just as last time except I'm not using any cruise control on this tank.
