Will gears help mpg

As you say, reading is fundamental but so is clarity when writing.
You may want to work on that a bit.

If you have an auto tranny then yes 5.38's on 37's will vastly improve your mpg's and power. Shit I have 35" KM2's (33.75") with 5.38's and get about 4.5-5 mpg's better than with stock 4.10's.
Whoooo are the 35" KM2's only 33.75" in height......??????
need to know this as I get them specially shipped from the states supposingly 35" tire height
any thoughts on this?
Yea mine measured at 33.75" at 28 psi. BFG's are notorious for being sized small. I didnt know that until I measured for programming my Procal
No wonder 37's are the "new" 35's!!! This would explain a lot!!!O.K. though back to the original post,
How about a 2012 JKU Rubicon with 6spd transmission, stock 4:10's and 37 BFG KM2's? Would my gas mileage improve from re-gearing? I know my low end power will increase.
thanks,

I'm an 11 with 35s and just installed 5.13 gears. I have seen an increase on average so far of 1 mpg.... Which brings me around 13.5 mpg average.... It could be from me going easy during the break in period but I have only had a tank at 13 or above once before and it was a tank on all highway miles.
I'm happy with the increase... I'll take anything so long as its not a loss.
