Vacuum Gauge vs. MPG
I am surprised that no one has installed a vacuum gauge to determine the best shift points and driving style for all of your MPG guys!
I have one in my car (well a boost gauge - both vacuum and boost) and you can really notice a difference in gas mileage when driving the car so that you keep your vacuum numbers nice and high. Infact i found coasting in neutral burns more fuel then when the engine is under load. because under load i pull more vacuum psi.
