Shifting to make minor speed changes on the interstate is for the birds, IMO. This is a sports car, not an economy car. Going 70mph everywhere instead of 80mph will save you more money in gas than a taller final drive will.

How about a taller gear going 70mph? Or a taller gear going 65mph? I don't mind the mpgs. It suits my requirements. Price is all that is left.
