What’s your threshold a 1.875mpg loss? lol you get what I’m saying
The stock gearing to me is perfect for city and hwy balance. 4.3 would be fun for tight curvy roads and annoying on the highway especially with an exhaust.

And the twisties, or track is the only place it makes sense. In a straight line it's typically slower because of the extra shifts. Figured this out on my R6 years at the drag strip and you can even shift way faster on those than a car.
Going through the traps in 5th was slower than going through the traps in 4th.
