Best  mileage I would expect to be closer to 60 mph. No turbo
diesel likes your  foot in the pump so I'm sure in the big mountains I will
be slowing down  and using 4th and in the steepest grades even 3rd.  



As long as your EGT stays below 1,100F they don't mind, your fuel  gauge 
may object though!  ;-)
  I seriously doubt you'll find a hill you'll ever need 3rd, and most  
likely not 
4th either.  Not unless you get slowed behind a truck or slow curve  
driver.  
They just pull and  pull.  Even my Rabbit will take  Blewett Pass in 4th 
and 5th 
so long as I don't get pushed below 55 to 60mph, by some slow driver.
  Sounds like a really fun ride Brian!  Is that oil cooler  sandwich just a 
used 
car pull off/bolt on?  Sounds perfect!
