Im running 3.90's in my AOD. Dont know numbers but I went from 2.73's to 3.90's and didnt see a difference in gas honestly. My 5.0 gets better gas mileage than my 00 Intrepid.

Its hard to tell the gas mileage because even with a correction gear the odometer is still off a little bit.

I also dont drive my Mustang like a little old lady so my driving style cuts down my mpg.
