4.10 and 3.73 Fuel economy
My stang came with the 3.31 limited slip rearend. I love the fuel economy it produces, 26 mpg average highway. So that has been making me a little tentative to switch to lower gears. What kinda highway mileage could I expect from 3.73's or even 4.10's

you only drop on the highway. but if you are worried about the mileage you should not Mod, a Saleen Supercharger is the only mod that will gain you HP and gas mileage. there are some reports of guy getting 25-26 mpg with a SC.
I have 4.10 and I run at 80MPH @ 2950 RPM and my milage is average 23 MPG

Speaking of mpg. Has anyone else on here gotten freakishly high mileage on the highway? I drove from San Francisco to an hour north of Sacramento, and back on half a tank of gas. I've driven for hours on road trips and still had enough left for an hour of commute time.
Is the cruise control magic??? |

I also understand that with the higher gears you get back some of what you lose on the highyway during city driving... Less effort on the engines part.
