what would be the difference
in the miles to a tank between 4.10s and 3.73? i have an auto and 4.10s right now, im barely getting 200 miles to a tank. its frustraing me quite a bit so im thinkin about goin to 3.73s kas its my daily driver. I dont know if its that much of a difference though.

i hear its only about 2mi to the gallon. i have 3.73's now. what size is your tank? i have a 96 cobra, and i baby it, talkin 65 on the interstate never touching 3,000rpm's i may be able to get 270mpg before panicing for a gas station. and thats like. conciously tryin to save gas. i'll be moving up to 4.10's in a few weeks i hope. rather have the pep than the mileage, its also my DD

Well here is a shocker for most, in my old gt with 3.73's i got about 260-270 miles on a tank with a few WOT here and there, and now with my 03 v6 i currently drive every now and then i get about 230 miles on a tank and i do not floor it at all, its embarrasing how slow that car is......Miles are better with a 5spd end of story, auto=SH**TY gas mileage for that is what my v6 is(auto) old gt(5 spd). GAS MILEAGE IS CONTROLLED BY ONE THING ONLY......YOUR RIGHT FOOT
