Driving the lowest speed in the highest gear isn't possible for my drive to work. I can hold 35 mph in 5th gear before the engine starts to lug. My drive to work is 65 miles on mostly 2 lane blacktop roads with very few passing zones. So if I want to spend 2 hours in the truck instead of just over 1, and become a pariah to the other drivers trying to get to work, and possibly become the catalyst for an accident or a road rage incident I could get incredible mileage. But I would rather share the road and get the most out of the tank as I can at the same time. Beings I don't know much about vacuum at this point, I am taking anecdotal evidence and trying to develop a plan to help do this. Trying to find a way to be in an optional FE range at the speeds I drive the most. I am hoping that the vacuum gauge will give me some insight.
I really don't mean to sound so snarky but it's early and I haven't had my coffee yet and it's shaping up to be a very trying day.
