Lower Gear ratio better mpg?

[djvx]

Is this guy for real? LOL

Get out your. 4" angle grinder and you could fit Dana 60 ring and pinion to fit, I hear....LOL

I for one have achieved over 21 MPG on a VX....and it is done exactly as. Riff Raff explained...

A lightweight tall skinny (contact patch) tire will deliver....and locking up the Torque Converter helps a lot, too.

I had great luck with Yokohama 315/75/16. And Buckshot Mudders 78-16....narrow but 36" tall!

As for the spelling bee....I use a tiny PDA with big fat fingers, to post and reply, so if I make a mistake....I just usually leave it, cause its easier than tryin to fix it on this micro keyboard....LOL

Not to highjack this thread or anything. . .but
Hey Big Meat, may I get some more info in regards to your achievement of 21 mpg, Locking up the torq converter is done how?.... Maybe we need a MPG improvement thread - or maybe there is one already. I'm no greeny by any means but a suv this small, with a 6 cylinder ought to get better than the 10- 12mpg I get.
