you got 4.8iS?

there is a "sweet spot" between the speed, and the RPM that yields better gas mileage... not sure what the sweet spot is, but you are probably driving in that spot...

the 4.8is performs better in the MPG department than the 4.6iS did... I guess, due to extra gear in the transmission...
