[QUOTE="JeromeMach1, post: 6666296, member: 14554"] My daily driver has 4.30s in it. I drive the freeway all the time. Even driven to Vegas many times. In 5th gear at 80mph the rpms is 2850. There is no measureable difference in gas milege by changing the rear gear ratio. Remember, an engine does not consume more fule soley because it is spinning at a higher rpm. It could be argued that the 4.30 geared motor spinning at 3K rpm will be more efficient than a 3.55 geared motor spinning at 2300rpm. Fuel consumption has a lot to do with load/hp. This is dictated by throttle postion and rpm, not rpm alone. Jerome [/QUOTE]
