This is inspired by the Tshadow thread "Did I waste $1200"

Basically what I would like to do is make a thread that someone could reference for "what would be my revs/MPG be with XX gears?"

If we could Id like to see if we could keep it in a format like:

>Engine
>Tranny
>Gears
>Tire size
>Cruising speed
>Revs while cruising
>Aprox. MPG

I get:

>4.0
>42RLE auto
>3.73
>33x12.50
>70-75
>14-15 MPG

I think that if we could keep it up it would be a big help

Thanks!

Tires - 30x9.5x15
Cruising Speed - 60-70 mpg
Approx MPG - 16-17 city, 19-20 hiway

Other notes, 2002 sport, 118,000 miles, completely stock, soft top, hard doors, d44 open rear, 3rd vehicle, speedo approx 1.5% off.

[BlazinJack]

Engine = 4.0l
Tranny = NSG 370*
Gears = 4.10
Tires = 33x12.50 Mud terrains
Cruising speed = 70-80 (I speed!)
Approx MPG = 10-12 city 13-14 highway
Speedo never corrected after lift so MPG #'s are probably low
* after looking at the specs for this tranny im confused. Jeep told me twice that this is a double overdrive tranny, WTF?

How in the world do you get 17 MPG? I have about the same setup and I only get 11...and it's flat where I live.
