cliffs: some guys are getting better mpg with 4.10s than stock gears and hoss thinks you're gay if you don't get 4.30s... you can read it and see what they say/what kind of mpg they are getting with said gear ratio
I have 4.10s, I get over 300 miles on a tank of gas regardless of where I'm driving and how I'm driving...

Are you sure something's up with your car? I have 3.73's too and do lots of city driving and I can easily still squeeze 250-275ish out of a tank in all city driving.

Miles per tank is a BAD way of comparing fuel mileage!!!
Everyone fills their tank differently, and we all fill up at different levels of "empty."
If you always fill up until gas is visible in the filler tube and always fill up when the low fuel light comes on, you can get a good reference of miles per tank. That is how I typically fill my car, and I run very consistently 288 +/- 5 miles on each tank.

Do you just drive around town close to campus or do you get out on the highway some? If you just roll around close to campus, I can see getting mileage like that. You don't have anything that should kill your fuel mileage, except maybe you right foot. What do you get when you drive to Charlotte on the highway?

It doesn't matter what hoss thinks.
If you do alot of highway driving definitley get FRPP 3.73's if you want decent
gas mileage that is.I now have FRPP 4.30's installed and my MPG is absolutely horrendous.My overall gas mileage 14mpg city and 17mpg highway.I wish that
I kept my FRPP 3.73's installed because gasoline is getting more and more
expensive aspecially if you are using 93 octane everytime you fill up.
