I'm really surprised more people are saying they have 4:88's with an AUTO, from what I've seen on here I thought most had 5:13's but I did see one say they answer even though they had manual, maybe make your AUTO bigger in OP

beats me I dont bother to check, when it needs gas I fill it up, its a jeep and not much you can do about the mpg, sorry. If I look at the dash thing it says 15+or- on long highway rides, but I know they arent accurate. I do have the hypertech also.

I know It can get pretty thirsty at times. My dash says about 15 but on paper its actually about 11. Mostly back road driving, nothing over 55mph, and a few good hills.

Well, I voted earlier that I had 4:10 but I just got back from my first Highway drive in my 6 speed Rubi Unlimeted with 35s and it sucked. It was very windy and driving into a head wind with stock gears at 65 MPH was very difficult. My Jeep would slow down to 55 up hills, struggle to maintain speed and I had to down shift going over some good inclines. I know gears woiuld fix most of this so its on my short list. Im thinking 5:13s I don't think 4:88s are enough of a change to keep the low end torque Im not feeling.
