Here's how my day went so far.

This is a little bit better than usual. I have started to pulse between 20 and 35-40 in 4th gear. The rpm's are just a touch higher than usual when going to near 40 in 4th but I think with the lower average speed and longer coast times the FE seems to be better. In fact, the afternoon trip from my work to the wife's work today was anywhere from 8-12 mpg better than it ever has been; even since coming back from Wayne's.

Hey Larry how come your not pulsing 35-40 in 5th gear? Obviously it working cause your killing the FE but wouldnt the RPM be lower with a lot more throttle or does the gearing not allow that. Wyanes World if you build it they will come
Edit: never mind I re-read the post.
