Well I've got a 6spd but I am about 3000-3100 RPM @70mph. I do very little highway driving so it is not an issue for me. I waited almost 2 months for mine at the end of last year. Most of the auto guys love the 5.13's.

With 37s, 5.13s, and auto I run 2200 at 60 and about 2700 at about 70.

I think the 6spd is better with 4.88s and the auto is better with the 5.13.

I get the best gas mileage at 60-65. I get about 19-20 if its all hwy driving and I never go over 65. All around driving I get about 15-17.

I have 35"s and a auto with 5:13's and I get the same mileage as the above quote...

Mine is a 2 door, 37's and 5.13 (purchased from a forum member here) and auto. I can attest the same numbers as ktnr.

Best wishes
