gear ratio and gas milage

[GhettoPop]

thanks for the input everyone. crazypete, u always show me the way to the light! i never heard anyway say if u baby the car with the 3.73's u might gain mpg in the city, interesting idea and your theory makes sense. i have stock tire size 225/60 15 i believe, so i will probally go with 3.73 with my t-5. i have 4.30's in a 3 speed slap-stick challenger with a 340 engine, its a beast but gets like 4mpg around town!

gas is around $2.10 here and skyrocketing, and i gotta drive my stang in winter snow as well, hope the 3.73's dont hurt me too much. i figure the car is not really drivable in the the snow in stock form anyway!
