I know it's been only 2 days but I was hoping for a few more replies.
Going to throw a variable in for discussion.
According to Ford 2012 specs, (From Thor) the 35SG comes with a 4.88 rear axle ratio & should, according to Thor make 12 MPG (19.6 L / 100 km).

Any mechanically inclined to help out here. Is he bsing me & if this is true why do the manufactures not put higher gear ratios in.
Confused.
Thanx in advance
