Default Rear Axle Ratio for me

Hello, i have done a quick search but most of the gear ratios have to do with either racing, or something else that wont pertain to my usage. In the car i am looking for, i want to get the best gas mileage possible, but still run mid-high 13's. I would honestly prefer over 25 mpg at 60-65ish mph on a highway, with an M6. So what exactly should i look for? Thanks.

You should be getting 25 to even up to 30 mpg with a well tuned car and a light foot, riding on stock gears and still hitting 13.1 or even a 12.8 depending on how good of a driver you are and also the "Sea Level" of your race site. Dude, I'm not sure if this is the right car for you.

Stock gears, lid, headers and a tune should get you 25-30mpg all day. I saw 27mpg in my last bolt on, stock gear camaro.
