Lets go with a manual and a stock tire size ofP235/55-17 (27.18 inches tall) and 3:31's.
Give or take up to a few tenths as allP235/55-17 are not created equal.

1st gear at 6000 rpm = 43.36
1st gear at 6500 rpm = 46.97

2nd gear at 6000 rpm = 73.28
2nd gear at 6500 rpm = 79.39

and asposted earlier,
5th gear at 5000 rpm = 180.94

Oh, and if you went with a shorter tire, you're mph will be lower in the same scenerio as above
If your tire is taller, you'll have a higher mph in the same scenerio as above.

Tire size can change your gear ratio.

go to Blue Oval Forums and give them your VIN. they will post a PDF of your actual window sticker. Foolproof way.

Jack up the rear end and turn one of the tires
while in neutral and start counting driveshaft revolutions.
Or just check the sticker on the rear end.
Or on the drivers side door jamb.
Or on your window sticker.
Or check it out thru the VIN via Ford Oasis.

According to the door sticker it would be 3:31 with an automatic(CG)???? Mine is a Manual...with traction control...may be because it's an 08' and the vincodes posted are from 05' ...sticker doesn't say...guess I will have to look at the rear end...
