Best speed for MPG performance?

[Sardine]

1000 ÷ 65 = 15.3846153846

1000 ÷ 75 = 13.3333333333

So two hours difference. Two hours is worth the extra gas money when it's my vacation time.

The one thing you can't buy with even an infinite amount of money is time.

I have a 2-door base with a 2.3L, auto, OBX wheels and tires, and I regularly get 25+ mpg on the highway going around 70. However, I do not use cruise control since it seems to downshift and go in boost way too easily on inclines. Oh, regular gas and 2-wheel drive.

With my 2Dr 2.7/Auto I get about 23 MPG (calculated)... when doing 90% highway @ 70 MPH, and I'm going up into the foothills (1500 feet rise), and then back down again during a 90 mile trip.

I'm running OBX tires/rims on my Base so I use the calculation (32/30)x(stated-MPG)... since I didn't do any Forscan change to the tire-size variable.

I think I can eek out about 24 MPG if I go 65, but that is about it.

Stay under 65 and staybout of boost = best MPG.
