I agree. Around 55-60 seems the magic speed for good MPG. Also 1500-2000 seems the sweet spot for MPG. Manual trans.I usually drive at 60 or the posted speed limit if higher (yes I use the right lane and get passed lol). Our trucks seem to do alright up to about 60mph but above that mileage starts to tank, especially 70+. Add in ANY uneven road or an incline and it goes down a lot. If you want better mileage, usually going slower in our truck helps. Being a brick it sucks trying to be forced to go faster and faster, lots of resistance.
