What are you getting calculated by hand? Which gears? Has your speedo been calibrated to get an accurate MPG. This is what I'm planning but I read that someone said thier computer said 11. I'm getting mid 18's stock. I know I'm going to lose some put that seems like a lot!

Thanks guys. I thought the ones with the regear would be a lot better. They should have the same amount of strain on the engine as stock. Just a couple houndred more lbs. to drive around, + more drag from being higher up.

Why isn't the mileage closer to stock with a regear?
