Does anyone know the gas usage difference between the 3.21 and 3.73?
The dealer told me on stock tires that it would be 3 mpg less at 3.73 than 3.21.
Seems like a big drop off for a small change.

It's being built and the dealer would do it for 50 dollars at build time.

Don't waste the $50. Just get 4.88 or 5.13 and you'll be set!
