RE: gears for auto?
Just say F it and buy my 4.56's I have for sale!!!! I'll let them go on the cheap!
Now that Im done whoring...
I have 4.30's in my DD with a T-5. I do 80 at about 2800rpms and 65 at 2500.
I say do the 4.10's, but I would be much happier if you bought my gears...

RE: gears for auto?
maybe higher rev's equals better mileage?
Ummmm. NO!
He is probably talikng about all freeway miles. It will be a liitle worse in the city. With lower gears, it also takes less energy to get the car moving. So that also comes into play. I had stock 3.00's in my 65 with a 4spd toploader. I ended up blowing the rearend and installed 3.80's and a minispool. I got better mpg in the city but HORRIBLE freeway mileage. I was doing 60 at 3000 rpms.
