I remember hearing that BMW did a study to determine at what RPM gets the best MPG and they found that shifting below rpm gets better than higher rpms. This last tank full I simply cut my speed by 10 mph; 65 from 75 on four lanes and 55 from 65 on two lanes. As of last night I had 300 and it just fell below the half tank mark. I drive a rout for work so it's the same every day. The strangest thing is that I still arrive at my destination at almost the exact same time as when I speed. I'll report back when I do my fill up and report my mileage.
