???? If you know alot about the 3.0's...how do you NOT know"?
I'd still like to know how you're even coming close to 300 on the highway...with taller and wider wheels!?
What rear gears?

260? City driving? Are you really serious? All that stop and go and 260 to a tank in the city? C'mon...
I sincerely don't mean to discredit you and what you are saying,but that just seems so...unreal.
Please forgive me,but that's just nuts to be able to do that good...on big tires,and yet no one else with big tires comes close to that kind of milage...let alone with stock size tires.
Again...what's the gear ratio in the rear?

So a manual gets better milage over an auto...in the city?
I'm just having a real hard time figuring this one out.
I'm averaging 190-200 city,230 highway on 31 x 9.5"s and I baby it. I never got my foot into heavily,I run with almost zero extra weight...I even keep her washed frequently to help with aerodynamics!!!
