Default Need help does my car have 3.73?

I used a tire gear ratio calculator and from the looks of it I have 3.73. I run about 2400 rpms at 70 mph and 80 at 3000 rpms. RPO codes say I have a 3.23 but I bought my car used so 3.73 might be in there. Anybody out there run 3.73s out there that can tell me there mph v.s rpms? Car is a A4
