Is your tranny having to downshift alot? 4.56's may be just enough to keep your tranny from having to downshift as much on the hills and would save you some mileage, I live in Colorado and have a standard but I still have to downshift between 5th and 4th alot driving in the mountains and it kills my mileage. I'm going to be bumping up to 33's and i'll be doing 4.88's very soon after.
