4.10's MPGs So, I love my MPG's on my bird right now. Somewhere around 30 is generally what I get. But, I was wondering if I were to go to 4.10's what could i expect for mpg's...anyone? What could i expect to get on other rear end gear ratios, thanks guys!

My LS1 M6 came with 4.10's when I bought it. I kept track of my mileage the first few weeks after I bought the car. I have since moved and I have no idea what happened to the papers. I will try to locate them tonight so I can give you a more accurate answer. As best as my memory serves me 22 was the highest I ever saw. That was entirely interstate driving in 6th doing apporx. 70-75. I usually get somewhere in the neighborhood of 13-16 mpg. However, if you are willing to spend a little more on your gas bill it is well worth it to run the 4.10's (In my opinion.)
You don't feel a big difference from stock gears until you get to 4.10's or lower. There are issues that you should consider about the 4.10's though. If you have any questions you can IM me on AIM and I would be glad to answer them as best as I can.

i got approx 9-12 mpg with my 4.10s in my cam only 94....of course, the car was never daily driven and the every time it left the garage, me and my buddies were raggin the **** out of it, burnouts, racing-street and track, it never cruised on the highway, so i dont know how good it would have done

I lost about 1.5 mpg when i got my 4.10's in my 95 M6 TA. I could still get over 300 out of a tank of gas on the highway. The major effect I saw was on city driving. I could get as low as 12mpg. It was worth it though. The best mod I did for the car IMHO.

mother of god, bickelfirebird..the specs in your signature are amazing and that car looks badass. I can't get your page to show me any details about your car tho. How come it looks like an LT1 if it's an '02? Anyways, back to my topic . No, I don't know anyone with 4.10's...yet . You guys do raise a good point about never getting above 100.
