i used to drive a five speed gasser saturn.i was getting about 25 mpg around town.That was shifting at 2k and coasting to the stoplight.i am looking at doing a 3.07 swap and a 4speed conversion or just buying a model with one in a 240D.i am thinking i can get 30mpg around town from a 240D if i shift the same way.Perhaps a 2500k shift point may work too.

best I can recall 55mph is around 2000RPM, 85mph is around 3000RPM
