I don't really know what the gas mileage was at those speeds. However, I have set the cruise at 99 (week attempt at keeping from going to jail), reset the computer and it showed about 22.3 gal per mile. I honestly think 100 is the sweet spot on this car. The gas mileage is still better than my 4 runner and she rides like glass. The rpms are over 4000 so she has a nice reasonance and I think that is where the cam changes? so that gives her the go if I hit the gas. I can't believe I only have a straight box and not the S with the 6 speed.
