I don't use the OD around town at all, or even the freeway now. And yes the mileage was a little better 15-16mpg with the original non syncro 3 speed.
Putting lower rear gears will eliminate the need for 1st gear. The other option I see is going to a lower OD gear like an .86.
Since I plan to get a tach, where should my RPMs be at 65mph? Seems like it screams on the highway.
