Well, if a 235 is 28-29", it should be about the same. Between 2,000-2,500 rpm.

your rpms are fine, the only way you are going to get any better is to put in a manual shifter especially a converter lockout. but even then it could be minimal.

cruising, my rpms always seem to be a little higher, but thats probably because my speed might be slightly faster

oh, thats just set to cruise. lol.

but you can run a switch you your converter lockout, and then lock it up on the interstate, then can make it run a little cooler, and get slightly better mileage.
