Well your probably running way lean if your getting 50 miles per gallon

In any case check your drive shaft-u joints. I had my old drive shaft go back on me.

Like I said check your U-joints. My drive shaft would vibrate at different speeds MPH not RPM. Get down there and inspect the joints.

Check your diff mounts, your tire balance (often overlooked but a major cause of this is a weight falling off a tire - usually you can get them rebalanced wherever you bought them from for free), and your tires for any uneven wear. If those check OK then you may have a strut going bad, in addition to the things other people have posted here.
