geared low for good acceleration, bad for fuel mileage. you could trade some of the acceleration for better fuel mileage by possibly using a 5sfe camry transmission.

Its our gearing. We have low powered cars, so they want the rpms to rev up quicker. Giving us more power in the begining but putting you at 4k for 80 mph.
Get longer gears to fix it, but you will have a slower acceleration in the beginning. -------------------- |

you can look up which trans has what kind of gearing and then calculate what engine speed you'll cruise at.

Get a 3S-GE tranny. It has a bigger Final Drive. 75mph is like 3200 rpm or so.

I don't really know the answer to that question, but I can say that I get much much better gas milage when I cruise at 65 mph on the freeway as opposed to 80 mph. --------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

yeah me too, however is better gas mileage worth the 20 minutes longer it'll take to get there?

My first car was a CRX HF. The RPMs never went above three in that thing. After it
got totalled, I got a Del Sol SI and I constantly thought I was gonna blow the engine in it for the first month 'cuz the RPMs ran so high. I totally wasn't used to it. By the time I got the Celica, I was used to super-high RPMs. When I first got the Celica GT, I took various road trips in it (about 5 hours each way)..and I cruised at about 85-90 with no problems. I did this trip about 20 times and never had an incident. I just always checked my fluids before I hopped in the car and hit the freeway. I think the trade-off is worth it. I like having the power. You can hit the gas at 80 and get moving if you need to.
