Not necessarily, and I'm pretty sure we get not so great mpg in 6th going 60..

More like 45-55mph in 6th > 50mpg. Without enough revs, things start to lose efficiency.

Some of you folks need to take the money you're saving for your next mod and buy a sense of humor. Dayum.

Fixed that for you.

So according to google you were going a blistering 76 mph or so.... I'm confused. But anyway as far as efficiency goes I think 66 is the best # because that puts the revs right at 2900 in 6th, right before the torque dip. As far as driving quickly, on this 40 mile back road I took one time with no traffic I never dipped below 4k rpm and was either full throttle or fully on the brakes...according to the car I averaged about 18 mpg which is still freaking impressive lol, my titan couldn't do that hyper miling lmao.
