i know alot about the 3.0 but i've never heard that. Maybe its true but i've never heard 3k rpms for good gasmileage. If your cruising down the highway at 70mph the rpms are going to be close to 3k and being on the highway naturally will get good gasmileage on the highway. i've never heard that an i would not worry about it. My dads got a 3.0 and i've had 2 3.0's before and hes 3.0 gets about 200miles to the tank city driving. Dunno about highway its prolly about close to 300 highway. but his truck has 33 12.50s on a 3 inch bod lift and it shifts the same and has about the same gasmileage with the stock tires it had. Generally low rpms better gasmileage. Generally. just drive it its fine why are you getting terrible gasmileage or somethin?
