I would be be happy too with 20.7 mpg !!...What did you have for gears before ?

RE: First road trip w/4.30 geared auto
 

not to bad with 4.30's in.. I do alot of travel with the V6 so im leaving the gears stock but I wana get 4.10's for the gt

RE: First road trip w/4.30 geared auto
 

The stock 3.31's.

That's pretty good considering. I have to keep my stock gear though. Gas is killing me at $60 a week.

That's not bad at all for an auto w/ 4.30s! Damn!

How fast were you going most of the time? Also where were your RPMS?

RE: First road trip w/4.30 geared auto
 

Leaving Richmond on 64 east to 664 anywhere from 65 to 80mph. Then once in N.C. 45 to 60mph. RPM's at 80mph 3,100 (indicated).

That's horrible to me... I mean, I know it's because you have the 4.30s and it's not like you're gonna get much better... I just can't stand not being able to get 23-25+ on strict highway driving..

that makes me consider the 4.10's
