To be totally honest, I barely ever drive the hwy in my Stang and going from 2.73's to 3.90's I barely see a drop in gas mileage at all in the city.

Your right theres not a huge difference.... and theres not that big of a difference with gas mileage either so why not go bigger? Unless your running a power adder. Just make sure you get a trans cooler if your running an AOD!

But yes, after 100mph it does suck w/ a stock car w/ gears.
True story. I'm at like 5500rpm when I'm going 110mph. I really won't go much faster than that and I will just get bored so I'll shut it off.
