Default Gas Mileage with 3.73's

Alright, guys with 3.73's, I have most bolt ons, a nice stall and suspension upgrades, and now im thinkin gears.

I have a 95 Z28 A4 with 2.73's, and I figure im getting around 16-24 mpg, depending on how I drive.

Probably around 20 mpg because I go 75-80 on the freeway all the time.

What RPM are you guys running @ 75 mph?
What kind of gas mileage would you guess?
When you get them installed, does it cost to have the PCM flashed and readjusted for the change?

Any help would be highly appreciated
