i also drive about 9hrs to school but only make the trip 4 times a year. so i figured o well if im going to do gears might as well get my $$ worth. with 4.30s at 70mph im at about 2500rpm.

I have 4:10 gears and my wife has stock gears. On the 45 min drive (all freeway) to Nashville we get the same gas mileage.

My previous job had me driving about 70 miles round trip daily. I thought my 4.10's would be a pain in the ***, but it really wasn't. Either way you look at it, gas pricesare to f*cking high even if you don't have 4.10's or 4.30's
