The best mpg is when the tranny is warmed-up and the torque converter is in lock-up. That would be at 45mph. I used to drive 75-80. Wow was that very fun!! Gas was less and the cops were well less too. I got about 23 mpg or so. So now I drive slower around 65 tops and less and get 26mpg. Sometimes I get 28mpg. The best speed is 45 mph with TC locked-up.

Take care of that SVX,

John
