Ah but I must disagree. My T/A gets it's best mileage at around 75-80.
This is when the engine is finally spinning fast enough to be efficient
(around 1700-2000 rpm) in 6th gear. I averaged 25+ mpg coming down I-5
with the AC on from Seattle to LA. Not bad for a car that does 0-60 in
~5 sec.... ;-)
