Ive done a ton of highway driving and even when i had 3:42 gears on a factory tune my best mpg was closer to 60mph on cruise. Im not your average driver 90% of my driving is on the interstate, i live a 1/4 mile from the interstate and have done the long trip from NC-NJ 10 total times, every time i do testing from when the gas pumps click/ miles i have traveled.

Back when i had 3:42's and factory tune

My gas mpg's went like this

60mph gas mpg = 32
65mph gas mpg =31
70mph gas mpg 30
75mph gas mpg 29
80mph gas mpg 27-28
