it has the stock 3.55's and it drives great as long as you don't mind cruising. i average 18mpg a tank which is great considering stock was 19mpg. it only sucks going up long steep hills on the freeway..also take into consideration while driving your spedo says 60 but your doing 65-67..my old 87 was 4.5 with 33's and 3.07s and got 15mps and definately needed to down shift alot more to maintain speeds on the freeway. on flat freeway it while cruise fine at 70mph...ya i also had to save for a month to be able to afford tires but thats jeeping..JustEmptyEveryPocket

I stay off the e-way anyway, I get better mileage staying under 60 mph. 18 mpg is pretty good for 33's, I hope to get close to that too!
