6 speed

3.21 gears

4" lift

35 Km2s

14 city/ 16-17 highway

The only way I get 16-17 highway is cruising in 6th gear which can only be done when it is way flat or downhill. Can't wait to regear...for now its ok, with a 6 speed its not as bad as I had figured it could be.

mpg HAS BEEN 16.3 to 17.1 but I keep the wheels on the shore( DMVA ) meaning flat land only. I use the gal in mile out calc so maybe my math and ethanol don't mix:yup:
