Best speed for mpgs
Just curious about other v6 owners mpgs. Yesterday I was heading home and was checking my mpg. Seemed at 65 I was getting 23 to 25, but when I would go to 80 the computer would be saying numbers like 27-29. Now I know when I'm going 55 it goes anywhere from 27-35. Just wondering because on my 07 dodge I would get about 350 miles to a tank driving 75 and harder vs going 65 and only barely getting 300 miles.

I believe they say you get your best mpg when you are in your highest gear at your lowest speed.
