Yes, I have only owned one 12 valve, one '03 and my '06, but all three of them did better at the 1700-1900 rpm range. I guess if you want to do something just because it will do it, then you probably don't care much about the cost of doing it, whether it's mileage or life span. I had a '85 Ford 3/4 ton 4x4 years ago. It cot about 14 mpg at 34-50 mph. Above 50, mileage dropped to about 8. At that time I was young and gas was around .25/gal., so I drove it like I wanted and used more fuel. I guess now I look at it a little differently. :)
