RE: New Gears
4.10s haven't cost us 4-5 miles per gallon by any means, in town of on 2000 mile+ road trips. My car could go 250 miles per tank on trips between fill-ups before gears, now it's 230. In town 180-200. Big drop...

I drive my Mach 1 like it's made to be driven, both when it was stock and after mods. 15 MPG is good, except maybe to a physics expert. Wannabe hotshots often resort to names like "jackass" and "azz" on forums when their arguments don't hold up, as you have demonstrated so well, tool. This is real world driving, not EPA estimated claims. Go back to your physics books and find some examples of the laws thereof to impress yourself, tool.

There's really no sense in arguing; like I said before, It depends on how you drive! Of course different people will experience different things. Hell, I could gain mpg just by shifting before 2000 on every shift, same engine, same gears......

15 MPG is good on the highway. Your car must be junk. Dont know how you can drive a car the way its supposed to be driven when you are cruisin on the highway. The only time I can see you getting low mileage on the hwy is when you pull up to me wanting to race and I just smoke your azz.

250 miles on stock 3.55s / 12 gal = about 21 mpg
230 miles after change to 4.10s / 12 gal = about 19 mpg
That is my highway mileage, in town of course is less. This is actual driving mileage, not advertised mileage. To anyone considering a swap to 4.10s, that it what I have experienced, and the performance increase made the change more than worthwhile. Increased performance is even more noticeable (enjoyable that is) on a vehicle that changes from stock 3.27s to 4.10s.
