i was wondering what rpms you guys shift at, and what rpms you cruise at to get the best mpg and what mpg do you get. i get from 19-21 average, i dont always drive like a grandma though.

With my "Manu-Matic" style tranny and torque converter I can control where it shifts without harm, so I guess I can actually respond even though my engine is toast lol. I averaged like 26 when driving it semi-hard and like 31 when driving it really nice like. I do a lot of highway miles though.
