no he's right...the fuel consumption runs lower at 3000rpms than it does at 2000 rpms....the curve looks similar to a positive inflection parabola
what that means is that for less fuel, you can travel faster....which implies that you should get better mileage...
indeed, when I go on a road trip and I'm cruising at 70mph (~3500rpms)...I get over 26 mpg....but when I'm in town and I spend most of my time in fifth or fourth at ~2500-3000 (even when I don't hit many lights or slow spots) my mileage goes down 2-2.5mpg!
I think the fuel consumption plot is on one of the Temple of VTEC - Asia pages!
I'll see if I can find it and post it up on the board for yall
