When I had my TA, I got excellent gas mileage at about 70mph. I went to summer school one year while my family was down the shore. Taking the expressway daily from Ocean City to Philly I used less gas than going from my home in Marlton to Philly. IDK what the mpg was but it was awesome. I would put it in cruise control and be happy to see that gas gauge barely move, vs. taking route 70 stop and go traffic at a much shorter distance. At 55, the TA would be able to cruise in 6th around 1300-1500 rpms, and it would do awesome mpgs.
As for the truck, I give up trying to pull off good mileage. Even trying to drive carefully and slowly as possible yields pathetic gas mileage by comparison.
