That is exactly why I want them. I have 3.73 in the car now and the best I can get is 11mpg cruising around. I hate that I cant go much over 100miles with out being on the look out for a gas station. Makes for summer cruising in the remote country tough. I have a set of 2.94's or where they 2.76's sitting here but Im leary to install that set because of the stall of my converter.
