I'm sure if you stayed around 1500 RPM's you could get the smallest bit of improvement, but it's more than likely a bottleneck below 2500.

That's what the computer is telling me and i reset it everytime i fill up.

I am also around 80% freeway and live in Arizona so the A/C is always on.

Did the fuse pull about 3 weeks ago and the engine does seem to run much smoother.
