Yep goin slow is key. In my truck with no over drive and the big old 36in tires I turn like 2800 rpm's keeping up with traffic doing 70/75. Yesterday I went from Point Pleasant to Highland Park which is basically a 50min drive on the GSP. Instead of slamming there I took my time and did 55-65, light throttle, right lane all the way. It only took me a 1/3rd tank of gas there and back vs more than a 1/3rd taking a 20min drive doing 75/80 in that truck.
