Like Lbness said, listen to the engine. When not accelerating I try to keep the RPMs around 2000. Sometimes I'll skip from 2 to 4 to 6 if the RPMs and speed are high enough.
ewynn9, when you say you do a lot of highway driving, how much is that? I'm a medical salesman and i'm on the highway / interstate around 30,000 miles a year. ( I know, camaro is the least practical vehicle for me, but what can i say, i'm in love) But i would love a similar highway drivers real estimate on hwy MPG before i sign on the dotted line,

Thanks
