Do the gears ACTUALLY make a big difference at higher speeds, say like 80 mph? Just curious, love my 3.73's, 80 mph equals about 16 mpg for me. They do great below 70 mph though. No I am not complaining about getting 16 mpg at 80 mph haha, just wondering if the gears have any real world affect on it.
They did for me. My 2011 with 3:31 returned the same mileage at 75 as my 2012 3:73 does at 70. Virtually identical trucks. My mpg starts falling fast above 2k rpm. 2k is 70 now vs 75 before.

Well if I really try and manage my speeds and the way I use the gas pedal I get 24 ish mpg, normal driving is about 18 mpg.......keep in mind we are at 4000 ft up here. It is 10L per 100k better than my last truck towing and about 4L per 100k normal driving. Im sure I could get the numbers higher, its hard to stay off of the go fast pedal.
