Not sure why you guys think going down the highway with a pack of other vehicles in dense traffic would somehow justify keeping the V8 in a low gear, say, to brag about single digit fuel economy.
I wish I lived in an area with no traffic, but that's not the case, so sometimes you just cruise in top gear at 1500 rpm, and that's where these good numbers (25-26 mpg in my case) are coming from. Obviously when I'm driving "properly", mpgs never reach 20, sometimes even 10, but the car is capable of both extremes and anything inbetween.
