Default Got an Accurate MPG for 4.10s

I had to drive to Orlando from N.C. this week, so I opted to drive the Mach. I told my wife it was better on gas than her Jeep as an excuse. Well, to my surprise it was! I stopped in Georgia to fill up at a decently priced station. I reset my odometer before leaving home. I took note of the gallons it took to fill up in Georgia (can't remember off the top of my head right now) and divided the two. Believe it or not, I got 24.68 miles per gallon. I have 4.10s on top of that. I kept my cruise set on 70-75mph during this time and as most of you know-it is perfectly flat territory and very close to sea-level. Anyway, I was amazed at this and thought some of you guys would be too. Also, anyone wondering how 4.10s might affect your MPGs, here you go.

Oh at least 4:10's. Some people like to go w/ 4:30's even 4:56's w/ the 32v. They love to breathe and the powerband is completley different than a 2 or 3v. They like to stay up past 4k and w/ any taller gear they wouldn't be able to get there fast enough...

I've got Motives mainly because they are cheapest (129.00 shipped), but most will recommend FRPP. I haven't had noise or anything with my Motives yet, been about 6k miles now. All are most likely equally good, it all comes down to having them set-up right!
