Re: 71mpg, 75mph in Atlanta

Anybody else find that winding it out a bit in third and fourth seems to help it go faster in 5th? I know this sounds illogical (maybe it's just psychological,) but whe experimenting to figure out why mine wouldn't go fast, I seemed to have better luck when I pushed the RPM's of 3rd and 4th past the recommended shifting points in the MOM.

This was not as big an effect of putting my chin on the speedometer though. That really helps the most. I'm gonna be curious to see if the windshield allows me to go faster upright, slows me down, or has no impact.
