I think the 3.55's are the perfect medium of acceleration and fuel economy IMHO, I just drove 550 miles to El Paso, TX from Lawton, OK, heres how I did:

23.6 mpg halfways through the trip, it actually went up to 24.5 overall average when I arrived in El Paso.



And if you look at the trip, I set that at fill up, so at 200 miles, she drank half a tank.



not too shabby if I may say so myself.
