For myself I use:

RPM - MPH
MPG - TPS

With my 4-spd auto trans I tend to keep the TPS <= 20 or 25 depending on how much traffic is behind me and on the highway I've found that my '97 Cavalier gets the following mpg's.

Without A/C: TPS of 10-12 will hold a steady speed on the flats and at 60mph I can usually average between 45mpg - 50mpg.

With A/C: TPS of 15-18 will hold a steady speed on the flats and at 60mph I can usually average between 31mpg - 35mpg.
