What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting with these gears? Highway and city?

15 city, 20 highway I turn about 3k rpms at 80mph with my auto in overdrive

I'll also jump on it every now and then...I dont drive it like I stole it anymore. (Getting old and got married!)

Later,
Jason

At 65MPH with 3.73's I'm at 2000 rpms.... I have a chip to correct the speedo... That's the most accurate. Hope that helps you out some dude :thumbsup

I wonder if they put 3.73's in my car instead of 3.55's. When I go out tomorrow I'll have to check that out. Thanks Matt.

I'm guessing I'm gonna go with the 4:10's/31 spline differential/31 spline axles. I wanna beef up the rear end a bit for add piece of mind when I run slicks.
