Default MPG with new gears?

Say i get 18 mpg with stock gears. What do you think i would get with 3.90's or 4.10's. If you have these gears or know what the answer might be please help me out.

it all depends on how you drive it.....if u continue to drive it like u where previously, then it wont change much, maybe 1 mile to gallon

but ull probably punch it a LOT more, then thats how u loose mpg\

i have the 3.90s and i dont notice too much of a dif.

With my 4.10s I am getting nearly the same gas mileage as I did before the gear swap. Like 66mustang said, if you don't get on it too much it isn't that big of a deal. I just filled up my car tonight and got just over 17 mpg.

Short shift and keep your foot out of the gas and you can get some awesome gas mileage.
