Trying to understand how re-gearing will get you better mpg?
The higher the gear, the more rpm's at speed.
You should burn more gas at the higher rpm's
So how would re-gearing net you better mpg?
Not saying your wrong, Just trying to understand this is all?

1000 mile trip to and from KOH earlier this month and averaged 16.8mpg on 35's with 4.10 gearing, auto trans. Build thread will show how much extra steal I carry on a trip.
