Can you cruise at 3000 RPM?

What rpm is most fuel efficient?

For economy’s sake, it’s generally wise to remain below 3,000 rpm most of the time and to shift into the next gear before the engine gets much beyond its optimum rpm level. Too low an engine speed does nothing for your finances, so running below 1,500 isn’t ordinarily a good idea.

That being said, the ’70 351C 4V motor (10:1, big ports, small chambers, single plane intake, 650 double pumper) I used to run was OK with its 3.25 gears and a cruising RPM at 60MPH of about 2400RPM….I got mid teens with it for mileage. It could have been much quicker with more gearing.
