To get maximum fuel economy, you would have to have a regular cab, short bed, with the 4.2L V6 engine and 5-speed manual transmission. My '02 gets about 18 mpg.

The fuel control is adjusted to set idle and maximum speed.
The 6 speed has an extra gear, generally for fuel economy when travelling at motorway speeds.
The maximum cruising speed of a Dash 8, specifically the Dash 8 Q400 model, is approximately 360 knots (about 415 miles per hour or 667 kilometers per hour). This turboprop aircraft is known for its efficiency and performance in regional aviation, combining speed with fuel economy. However, the exact cruising speed can vary slightly depending on specific configurations and operating conditions.
Cruise speed is the speed at which an aircraft typically operates during routine flights, optimizing fuel efficiency and passenger comfort. Maximum speed, on the other hand, is the highest speed an aircraft can achieve under specific conditions, often used in emergency situations or military operations.
More top end speed and fuel economy.
Not sure when then was, but fuel economy is always improving.Not sure when then was, but fuel economy is always improving.
The fastest gear ratio for achieving maximum speed in a vehicle is typically the highest gear ratio, such as overdrive gear. This allows the engine to operate at lower RPMs while maintaining high speed, resulting in better fuel efficiency and top speed.
Idle less, accelerate easy, drive at a slower speed.
