    I was not being ugly or disrespectful just can't comprehend naturally aspirated low gear and short tire getting 20 mpg.

    27" tire is not all that short. 255/60r15 is a pretty good sized tire.

    Most important part is "drive like a granny". Slow easy accelleration, not a lot of passing, no hotrodding, and driving at 60-65 mph.

    Otherwise, my mpgs fall off pretty quickly.

    Still...what did all of those capital letters mean?

    I have a T5 z spec with the 0.63 overdrive. Motor is pretty much stock and I have 235/60/15 on the rear with 2.79 gears.At 70 mph I'm barely reaching 2k rpm.I need to swap out the gears ASAP

    richmond gear was purchased by motive gear a few years ago. now you get the same gear set in a richmond box as you get in a motive performance box. usually the motive ones cost less.

    Howzat? :huh:

    I never considered myself to be any sort of salesperson. I tend to give stuff away for half the going price, because I live in constant fear of ripping someone off and being known forevermore as a shyster.

    And all joking aside, is that REALLY what those capital letters stands for?

    Sorry man...I sometimes get caught up in the joking and sarcasm on here, and can't figure out when people are being serious.

    I have been on here for a LONG time. I think I am in the top ten of post count. I have sold and bought a LOT of things around here, and hopefully, have a decent reputation for trading parts.

    Want to keep it that way! :D
