I read somewhere on this forum that 4300-4500RPM range is the most fuel efficient, I might be completely off on this? In a 5 speed Boxster that would be 4th gear on the highway (approx 70-75MPH). I dont know about you guys but in Massachusetts there is no "cruising" at 80MPH, that is a ticket for sure, especially on the Mass PIKE!!!!!!
