Man. That just made me more confused. I was thinking 4.10's for 36's but now im thinking 4.30's or 4.56's. I dont want my fuel mileage to take a dump though

there are a few other charts online that are similar, but I'm no engineer so I don't know how much to faith to place in that chart for regular street/highway driving. for me it will be cheaper to switch to 32's when the time comes, rather than changing gears.
