Fuel economy will be less than with 5.13s or 5.38s with an automatic due to the more frequent downshifting of an automatic with 4.88s.
Always go as low as you can, because we all know it is impossible to stay at 33s. I have 33s, and getting 35s next I know it won't stop there. 5.13s for me, and I have a six speed. Auto, definitely go 5.13s, just saying. . . Good Luck!

I went with the recommendations from people on this forum, 5:13's unlimited automatic and 35's. I am extremely happy. Wouldn't change a thing.
