You'll be fine with the 4.10's. Under normal freeway driving your gas mileage won't be effected too bad. Maybe 1-2 mpg less than stock. It all depends on if you can stay out of the gas and just drive normal. 2nd gear starts always worked well for me in my 94 with 4.10's. I drove my 94 to Bowling Green, Ky for the NMRA finals in 2004 from north Alabama (about3 hour trip) and only burned a 1/2 a tank of gas doing 70-75 mph (cruise control) the whole way. My buddy's 93 GT w/ 347 stroker bored .040 (352 cid) and 4.10's did about the same driving in front of me the whole way running air conditioning. All the myths you hear about 4.10's eating up gas (abnormally) are just myths unless the driver is constantly romping on the gas.

Buy a car-bra for the trip of have some 3m clear bra put on or something. It looks gay for driving around town, but after 3500 miles your hood & bumper is going to look like someone shook a pepper shaker over it.

I haven't taken a long road trip yet on my 4.10s but plan to this spring. I have a lead foot so my gas mileage isn't that wonderful. However I'm trying to adjust my driving habits as I go.
