[BFix] Thinking outload gas mileage and EB....

[Jim Lemanek]

Reading all that we do, it looks like someone with a 5.0 and an OD tranny like a ZF gets maybe 18 mpg.  What gears is that with?
   
  So if I were to keep the 3.50 gears, install a 5.0 and a ZF, any guess what I could get?
   
  According to gear calcs, an OD at .75 and 34" tires, at 70 mph I get 18XX rpm at 70 with 3.5 gears and 21XX rpm with 4.11.
   
  What do you think that would do to mpg? Stock 92 mustang 5.0.
   
  Just wondering thoughts.  I was gonna ask best mpg setup as an excercise but quickly realized I would get a discussion on 4bt probably.  Thats a bit outside my motivation based on my current resources.
