have a tow feature button on my fullsize which removes 4th gear out of the trans and I get 2 mpg less when using that feature. Besides if I had said 2.56 mpg then maybe I could be called a liar, but for a rough estimate that is what I would choose

i'll say around 3, maybe 4~5 if that 350 trans doesn't have a lockup converter

it's not a blocked word but just the singular version of the word is blocked, but add an "s" on the end and it goes through
