Do you have a tachometer? If yes, assuming stock tires and gears, 3800 rpm
is ~68 mph. If running 205/70, you are going just a tad slower. Other wise
be happy with your mileage.

I forgot to mention that according to my speedometer I was doing 70MPH
average speed. I was moving at the same pace as the other traffic on
I-95 and not getting passed like I was doing 60MPH.






My van IS equipped with power steering and A/C (doesn't work). I don't
think that PS would affect the mileage that much anyway.
