I've heard that with 4.10s it's like that from 2k up. How's the mpg with the 4.10? Everyone tells me not to fear the gear.
I drive the car 270 miles a week back and forth to work and I average out ever tank of gas and I have not got under 23 mpg and got as high as 25mpg.

But that is taking it easy and of course this is hard to do lol. My commute is 20 miles of 55 mph highway 3 miles of 70mph highway and 4 miles city driving.

That's not too bad I get about 25-27mpg if I shift at 2k-2200rpm and drive about 16mi. at 70 on the highway and about 5mi. on the streets.
