Another Gear Question
i drive about 70 miles round trip to work and back each day. 98% of that is highway. i have a 1992 LX coupe 5.0 with a 5 speed, what you think i sould go with for gears? i've had 3.73's in the past and loved them, but not sure with gas prices being as they are...

RE: Another Gear Question
I drive 68 miles a day for work and my mileage stayed just about the same switching from 3.08's to 3.73's.
Probably has a lot to do with driving style... I like to drop it to 4th and mash it at least a couple times a day on the highway.

Highway driving in 5th... isnt a HUGE difference in mpg between stock and 3.73, I would go with 3.73 unless you are really concerned about getting better gas milage... plus 3.73s are a real fun gear

RE: Another Gear Question
yeah i love the 3.73's i had in my past coupes ...
just was uncertain about the gas mileage issue ... i've never been in a mustang with 3.55's ... is there a huge difference in the feel of the 3.55 and 3.73?
