Since I red that thread I tried with my Vue short brisk accel (1-3 Vac = 60-65% throttle) vs steady accel (5-10 vac= 40-45% throttle) vs slow accel (12-15 vac=35-40% throttle) always shifting at 1800-2000 RPM and I got the best results with steady acceleration.

With short brisk accel my fuel economy went south about 1mpg, so I started with Lighter loads and my it went back up. With slow accel, the problem is that every acceleration takes forever to get to speed with barely any mpg improvement.

Mpgs now hoovering near 27mpg. Outside cool températures and high winds are killing my Mpgs on the highway.

Im doing every thing I can to get better Mpgs but cant seem to get anything better than 27mpg.

Oh well...
