My commute changed from 25-35 MPH neighborhoods to 40-45 parkway. My mileage increased dramatically--more so than entire tankfuls on the freeway. This would comfirm my hunch of just under 1600 RPM.

Having said all that, a momentus occasion: I got 300 miles on a tankful for the very first time! Woo-hoo!

Hope that helps.
