Load 2 - Part 2

In continuation of my OP. I just took my second load to Colorado after engine "adjustment."

(See attached Image for the numbers)

This was the exact same route, time of day, etc. The only thing I did differently was the gear I used. After reading several posts from Rawze on RPM's and at his advisement I brought it down a gear to 12th to get my RPM's up and in doing so my MPG came up with it, even in spite of being 4k pounds heavier. Coolant temps stayed the same. Exh Mani Heat Soak temps varied very little from the first load.

No doubt a higher gear ratio would serve me better, a 3.55 perhaps. And why so many car haulers are spec'd to 3.36 I don't know other than most of them run 70 mph +, I don't. I am a 60 - 64 mph guy. The 3.36 requires me to run 70 mph minimum to get my RPM's above 1500.
