Gas economy?
OK, I get your point about maximizing torque and power but for a driver on California's mostly flat (Hwy 5) roads that is willing to shift down when necessary, is there any improvement in gas economy? I have noticed huge improvements for the Ford V10 performance in my Vegas when compared to the Ford V10 in my previous 1999 engine. It has more power and the Vegas is a lighter vehicle. I got around 8 mpg doing 80 mph on a cross country trip but get around 10 mpg in "normal" easy driving: 65 mph.
