on my car specifically, the best mileage that i get is on the highway at about 3000 rpm's. i also have a CAI, header, and part of the exhaust completed, so it is different for me.

mine hits a kind of lean spot at about 3500 and i don't like to keep it there very often, but the tuning that i am going to do next is going to take care of that.
