I just put 3.73 in my 5 sp 70 mph=3600-3800 rpm 5th gear still at 19 mpg.
That seems really high are you sure your tach is accurate? It should be at 2800-3000.

By no more than 200 rpm it sounds revved also can't be far off. Is there a different 5 th gear ratio available for the t-5 only thing I can think of off hand

i put 4.10s in my 5 spd convertible

i have a super duty t5 tranny i believe the last gear has a diff ratio so i sit at like 2100/2200in 5th at 65

but i still get good gas mileage even on highway ... usually between 65-80 mph with speedo and tach correct.
