Lugging around here in Orlando in this god forsaken heat and in town traffic I've been getting a consistent 15mpg. If I switch it down to 5th and run it as a 5 speed all day with no change- in 2 days it will show 16mpg. I've done it 2or 3 times in the last couple weeks. Just thought that was interesting. And I'm not resetting it either. I leave it averaging nonstop and never reset it.

You'll get better MPG's turning a few extra RPM if it keeps the engine from lugging and making the tranny downshift a bunch, especially in stop and go traffic.
