    I freakin HATE these damned 3.91 gears. but I hurt it a lot though by putting my foot in it way more than I should, and driving around in low gear or 2nd just to make a lot of noise quite a few times.

    I honestly miss those little tires with there 20 hwy mpg:(
    Now I am going to drive like a grandma and hope that a regear finds its way into my differentials around Christmas time.

    It should get better unless you drive it hard.
    Hopefully I get some new gears and get that without trying.

    I'm pretty sure mines is because my tires have been at 29.5 PSI. Not sure if that's what the shop put them as back in June, or the cold has just made them lose PSI. Just checked them for the first time since I've had them a few nights ago at work.
    Going to put them back up to 34-36 later today. Could possibly give me another 1-2 mpg.

    Isn't there maintenance for when you hit 60k? Like replacing spark plugs, etc.? I'm nearing up on 60k in less than 500 miles. Just seeing if I need to do anything for it.

    Ha, that is hurting you gas mileage. They might even take more than 36, but the only way to know is the chalk line test.
    It should be higher than that with a 5-speed and a 4-banger.
