Course, my truck gets pretty sluggish, and it only really works on long stretches of flat road (hard to find here in Wyoming).
Thats a good rule of thumb. I try and keep my RPMs below 2k as the max. It looks like I can add an extra day before my fillup of a standard daily drive to work. I saw a guy on CNN.com that does whats called Hypermiling to his car and he gets 50mpg. He never uses the breaks and never comes to a complete stop if he can help it. He even push starts his own car.
