If the gear numbers are off a bit or what not sorry. I'm not real sure on them. But here's my question(s). They apply to an auto and manual. I know you can't give me a realistic exact number, just a rough comparison. Thanks.

We will SAY....

Manual 3:55 gears get 26mpg stock.

What mpg would it get with 3:73?

What mpg would it get with 4:10?




Auto 3:37 gears get 24mph stock.

What mpg would it get with 3:73?

What mpg would it get with 4:10?

ok what i have noticed with my manual 98 gt is that in town my car has risen 3-4 MPGs in town driving and has dropped 1-2 mpgs on highway. So it equals out nicely. First gear is short but damn the rest of the gears damn well make up for it.

I get anywhere from 19-24MPG in town with a 02 GT 5 speed. 17-18MPG when I drive her hard.
