Gears

02stang02 · November 15th, 2007, 07:41 PM

I know that 4.10 and 3.73 affect ur gas milage about the same, but how much mpg will u lose compared to the stock gears?

Youngin · November 15th, 2007, 07:43 PM

i think 1-2 depends on your driving

El_Cangri · November 15th, 2007, 07:45 PM

dont get 4.10s if u do a lot of highway traveling

and its between 1-2 mpg lost

02stang02 · November 15th, 2007, 07:47 PM

so with a CAI and exhaust it should even out to about what i would get stock?

Youngin · November 15th, 2007, 07:48 PM

i think theres also other stuff that add's more MPG

Youngin · November 15th, 2007, 07:48 PM

i remember a Tuner

I have 4.10s and get about 20mpg highway and about 15mpg city

Youngin · November 15th, 2007, 08:10 PM

why is it so low?

AtlanticBlue99 · November 15th, 2007, 08:33 PM

because you are at higher rpms for the same transmission gear.

i.e. 75mph is 3k rpms (this is in 4th gear- overdrive- on a 4r70w)

i mean why is your mpg so low ? wait our cars are only 17mpg city?

I answered the first question in my previous post. and 1999 v6 stock is 20 mpg city and 27-29 mpg highway

Also the lower gears rev higher quicker and need to be shifter more often. this equates to less mpg
