To go the same speed, your engine needs to spin faster with a gear that has more teeth......

I really don't understand the confusion. Your wheels are not bolted on your crankshaft.....
I was talking about from tooth to tooth of the 4.667 FD vs the stock 4.1 FD, not total work done. W not Wnet lol. work is more complicated than just F*D

Its all miniscule though in retrospect.

4.1-4.667 = .567
.567/4.100= .138
so a 13.8% increase over stock. So every RPM you cruise at, add 13.8% to it. Im assuming subtract 13.8% from the normal MPG, given all conditions are the same.
