There is a ton of info on this site already that people have already posted. There is a search function. If you have specific questions, then post them. What you are asking is so general, that there is no good answer.

Since we did this last week, it's fresh in my mind:
3500rpms = 50mph cruise = 1.67 MPG = 0.60GPM
