I filled up today.

12.5 MPG :P

Mixed driving, but a lot of it was driving the ever living pi$$ out of it! So, no worse than when I had 3.55 gears driving the same.

Except that it is a heck of alot more fun ripping through the gears, chirping during shifts (auto), going sideways, etc :)


Maybe SOMEDAY I'll drive a trip and not be ripping on it the entire time so i can see what highway mileage is like when NOT towing.

What do you think the mileage would be with 4.56s with the 3.9l?

I dunno. Depends on how you drive it. The 3.9 would not be ripping a$$ and going sideways, etc, so maybe I'd drive it like a NOMRAL person. Therefore it would probably be 5 MPG MORE than my last fill :)

Same difference - you'll find gear companies listing it both ways. They started using that front dif in '00.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way
