Looking for: MPG cruising spreadsheet (V6)
been googling and couldn't find any info.
i'm looking for a spreadsheet of cruising speed vs mpg for the V6 and V8. I suspect the highest MPG for the V6 is obtained at 55 mph, but if anyone can point to a convenient spreadsheet, would be awesome. thanks in advance.

I don't think you are going to find any such thing. There are too many variables to be accurate or useful. For instance: Are you cruising on a perfectly flat road? Is there a headwind/tailwind? Is it raining? What is the temperature? What is the altitude? And so on.
As a general statement... I have owned both a V6 and now a V8 Gen5 and they both seemed to do their best (mpg wise) at around 2000 rpm (in high gear).

You can hook up a temporary vacuum guage and shoot for the highest manifold vacuum at the lowest rpms.....
keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel |

Just my $0.02, but on I-45 between Houston and Dallas, my peak MPG was closer to 3000 RPM, just over 80MPH. LS V6 with manual.

1LS. If I'm in 6th at 2000, I'm going about 60-65. MPG goes up at higher speeds. Just what I've seen.

2LT here...1600 at 60...2200-2300 nearing 80mph. I'd have to be cruising at a pretty good click to hit 3000 rpm in 6th... Sent from my bragging iPhone using an app that encourages it. |

Of course, if I'm out just cruising, i might not get into 6th gear.
