with a 3.23 rear and converter locked at exactly 2000 rpm you are going exactly 68 mph(275-40-17 or equivelent O.D.) if you have a 3.23 rear and your rpm is higher then what i just stated something is not right.

yea it must be right then the rear is stock 3.23 but when i first got the car the trans took a crap rebuilt it then put it in works fine it just felt like i did a little better on milage before and he rpms were lower but o1reddssa4 said its right there i would figure the converter would drop the rpm a little more what do you guys average on a tank of fuel with decent driving i get about 260 then fill up about 14 gallons only mod on car is full exhaust has o2 sims but it may need to be tuned though
