I am 66 years old, and have kept a close eye on my mileage since I was 16 and first started driving, I never did like spending more money on fuel than I had to, even when it was 25 cents per gallon. I was not a professional driver, but the combination of my personal driving and company driving which involved making service calls over a wide rural area frequently totaled 50k to 80k miles per year. On the older vehicles I found my fuel mileage usually ran best about 57 or 58 mph. On the newer fuel injected computer controlled engines,they seem to get better mileage in the area of 2,000m to 2100 rpm, which normally translates to 61 or 62 mph. None of my vehicles are fancy enough to have the computer readout systems, but I have a unit that plugs into the OBD2 plug and monitors many functions, including both current and average mpg. It will definitely point out conditions causing differences. As an example raising speed from 62 to 75 will lower gas mileage by 20 to 30 percent on most pickups.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
