25.7 mpg hwy cruising at 70mph with no passenger with 3:08 rear and 5th overdrive. Runs around 2k rpm's doing that. Lately I have been "hypermilaging" the car, meaning running it in town in 4th or 5th at 35 to 45 mph and 55 mph on the freeway taking off really slow, keeping it under 2k for shifts and coasting in neutral. Not particullarly fun to drive in this manner, but it's paying off in the extreme. Can run the car all week commuting and driving all weekend and only use 8 gallons of gas. EFI and small blocks rule -John
