Tried doing some searches and nothing cant up so Ill ask
What RPMs are you seeing per MPH.
The reason I ask is fuel mileage,,,, I thought this car would do better.
Rpms seem high compared to my old STS and milkeage seems lower,,,, aslo ,,, tip in pedal seems higher to get the car rolling then Im used to
Anyway,,,, I see
1500 RPM at 55 mph,,, almost 30 MPG
1750 rpm at 65 mph didnt note mileage
2000 rpm at 75 mph ,,,,drops to 24 mph
seems severe to me,,,, maybe normal and thats fine,,,, just want to make sure Im in the norm
Thanks all !!!!

Thats what I figured ,,,,, the performance ratio'* were hurting it.
I guess I was mainly concerned that it was going into lockup
The overall mileage combined is better then the STS was ,,, so all in all im happy,,,,
not to mention a way better looking car !!!!!!
