Better mileage with lower gears? The tech said I probably would get better mileage going from 373 to 430 since I have 35" tires.
He was right!! Went for a 250 mile drive yesterday, empty. Went from 12 to 14.5 hand calculated. DIC said 14.9. I know 2.5 doesn't sound like much but it really is compared to 12!!! :)
