I would say a 1 mpg savings is significant if you’re actually getting 6 mpg in 5th and 5 mpg in 6th. If on the other hand you’re getting 13.5 in 5th and 14 in 6 th .... it’s still something but I know I find I can get a difference of more than that between two trips leaving the transmission in drive both times. Anyway, what you actually measured for fuel economy in each gear really is relevant to our discussion. Did you set the cruise at 65 mph each time? Was the wind each time from the same direction and speed?
