i like the 4:10's on the street. the only down side is it's hard to push the car over 140 cruising. rpm's get too high for extended periods.....

so as long as you keep your speed near the speed limits they don't affect gas mileage or high cruising. i think i turn around 2200rpms doing 80.

so just say no to the mustang on the expressway cuz you'll run out of power at high speeds, but 0-100mph pulls hard!

btw i got 28 mpg with 4:10's on the expressway
