No, I run 3.70's in my Maverick and go on long trips, etc without sacrificing too much. Rickyracer's right though, I get decent mileage when I try to but its hard because those gears feel so GOOD that I have to race everywhere :)
depends on how much highway driving you do? 20 miles or more one way, You'll see a difference in MPG, about a 2mpg drop. Problem is you'll like the feel of the gears and "race" it a little more and there goes your mileage.
: : Are 3.55 gears too low for my 70 Maverick. I have a C4 and 3:1 right now, but I need a better take off. Would my RPM's go up too much? How about gas milage?
