Gas Mileage-4 is my best

["Erickson, Philip" <philip.erickson@Agouron.COM>]

Which gets better gas mileage?
This is about 80 mph in my car. 

A.  Fourth gear at 4,000 rpm
B.  Fifth gear at 3,200 rpm  should be 3400 rpm   (.85 x 4000 )
Your 4.11s would increase the RPM to 4450 in 4th and 3775 rpm in 5th.

BTW,I measure my fuel consumption in tank fulls per run - 4 is my best ...
into the mountians with the SoCAL group, then off to Santa Barbara for
dinner and back to San Diego by midnight  ;- )
