I have been thinking 3.73 gears would only drop mpgs down to about 27mpg. I'm very close to getting them done.

9000 miles on my Procharger and stock clutch and no slippage.

Congrats on the procharger set up, it's a whole different animal with it.

Don't expect 27MPG highway unless you plan on driving no faster than 50mph on the freeway/highway with 3.73s.

Animal is right. Good stuff for sure. I just dropped it off at the shop to have the extra boost dumped to the atmosphere, and make a tweak to the fuel mapping.

What should I expect at 65-75 mph?

I'm lucky to hit 26MPGs on California Highways cruising around 65 with my 3.55s

I'm guessing I got the wrong impression from wrx and others even though they never mentioned solid mpg numbers.

With the 373's I get 17 in town and on the hwy I can get 24 on long very steady hauls at 70-75 mph.. The average between town and highway (mix) is 21. If I take it really easy I can make it show 25.
