I would like to get mine on the highway and just cruise at 55-60 for a while and see what i can get. Since it has 4.10 gears when im in 5th gear doing 55mph the RPMs are at about 2100.

i run about 1950 rpm at 55 ( thats what i normally dirve for MPG purposes) but im averaging about 15-16. i need to run it @ 65 and check my mpg to see if there's any difference, cuz if there isn't then i might as well run 65...LOL...

Also don't forget,
The terrain you drive in make a difference.
Altitude makes a huge difference on NA engines.
Here in the mountains I see about 14 for my very best mileage, 11 or 12 is the normal average.

I spend most of my time between 1500 and 3000 feet.
But the big thing is there is not a stretch of flat road more that 200 feet long within 75 miles of here.
They did have an 1/8 mile drag strip next county over, it was uphill from the start to the finish line.
Constant up down up down everywhere I go.
