They normally say 3.73 for manuals and 4.10 for autos.

You don't want to lose gas or you don't mind to?? Just go 4.10 gears and never look back. When I'm back home I can easily go through a tank every 2-3 days, but when i'm back home my pedal is to the metal non stop. BUT if your doing town/city driving, anything under 55ish MPH gas shouldn't be affected by gears really at all.

3.73- most optimal ratio for performance/mpg
