About 55mph.

at what speed would you get the best gas mileage on the freeway, keeping rates of acceleration and hills, and all of the other options the same? 65, 75, or 85? at 65, you will be covering ground slower than at 85, but you will have less rpm's, and less air drag. at 85, you will be making ground a lot quicker, but have higher rpm's and air drag.

i was wondering about mph, not k/h, sorry

Greg 12-31-1969 07:00 PM

80 km/h... just enough for the OD + TCC to engage.

My car locks up @ 46mph, but its kind of jerky when it does.

Roadrash187 04-03-2004 07:24 PM

I would anywhere from 55 to 65 mph.

A constant speed of 55-65 will yield the best milage. Quick accelerating and stop and go will eat at the fuel economy.
