i just got back from Florida. I have 3.73s and i i ws surprised by how well i did with the gas issue. on the way down to florida, i got an average of 30 miles to the gallon and 412 mile per tank. on the way back, i got 31 miles to the gallon and 415 miles per tank. just thought i'd share. I have an M5 if anyone was curios.

Hey I'm curious. What rpms are you turning at 65 mph and 80 mph? -
80 mph is about 3100, i dont go that high. i try to keep it below 2800. (about 73-74ish) i'll have to get back to you on the 65 mph. but its probably around 25-260096 3.8 red camaro. <br />headers,cam,valve springs,retainers,auburn lsd,3.73 gears,SLP cold air,accel coils,24lb injectors,8mm plug wires,air temp module,LT1 diveshaft,removed a/c,edelbrock torque arm,spohn LCA\'s and PHRComment

I was just thinking of doing the 3.73 gear swap to my car quite soon. My only difference is the auto tranny. However, I dont honestly think that an auto would affect the mileage more than a couple mpg as compared to your m5.

3.73s should be turning 2880RPM @ 85MPH with 3.73s, it sounds liek you have 4:10s or an uncorrected speedo.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro
