But yes he could technically drop it into 5th or 6th and be at a lower rpm with less load. But if he wants to cruise at that rpm to hear the exhaust and can afford to. More power to him! lolWith stock 3.27s I cruise at about 2k right around 70mph. Which actually equates to about 2050-2100. That seems to be where I get my best mpg. 65-70. While yes generally higher gear and and lower rpm help get better mpg.  But your right on the load part.. Sometimes even in 5th gear ill watch my engine load and in 4th gear depending on whats happening I will put less load on the car then in 5th. Unless I am at a consistent 70mph and whatnot. then 5th it is.Fun to sit there and drive and watch fuel trims, load, intake temp,voltage, coolant temp and actual rpm compared to the stupid needle. Its distracting but still fun lol</blockquote>
