Exactly. That's is the same outcome I stated, except you went with the smaller tire analogy and I went with the larger. I bet he understands now though .

Don't forget the TB spacer, the hydrogen kit, and one of those vortex thingies. That'll get you another 10 MPG combined right there.

And for even better MPG with those 44" tires, I'd suggest you go down to 3.21 gears.

When I do it, I will be leaving the 3:55's in, so I should be good to go. When it's done, I'll also be doing the sand trick in the intake to do some polishing for a week or so. So I'm hoping for close to 90 mpg.

I was going to go with the 3:21's , but times are tough. What suck's is, I should have read this thread before I wasted the $39.99 at the Holiday Inn a couple days ago. That would have paid for the balancing of the tires anyway.
