I put 4.30's in my car and I love it. I just ordered some drag radials, so I should finally be able to see some gains from them. I have no F/I plans and wanted some more "umph" down low. They will slow you down on the highway though, I cruise at 60mph now, turning 2k RPM.
Gas mileage isn't too bad, it just depends on how much you are getting on the gas.
