It is bad running in a lower gear ratio when effective drive ratio is
to tall because of axle ratio and tire size because your ego and
pocket book does not know what is correct.

Your sweet spot depends a lot on load and effective gear ratio in
vehicle and the demands placed on engine to move it at a certain RPM

I see you are too cheap to use 89 octane or better fuel to which is no
surprize. None of my vehicle ever even think about pinging at any RPM
because I NEVER use 87 in any of them except a old 79 J20 with 8 to 1
compression that was made for 87.

And you lake the understanding and comittment to fix it properly
because your ego and pocket book holds you back.
BTW, if you want to restart this fued I will tear you a new one
because you provide a lot of times to do it. The choice is yours. Your
little more than a BSing troll with abig EGO problem.

Gee how did I put close to 200K and a few 4x4's 20 to 30 years ago
with 4.10 and 4.56 gears and no OD???? RPM as long as it is not
excessive (like 4000 to 5000 RPM cruises ) will not shorten life at
all. 2500 RPM or cruise for a V8 is childs play. How about a Toyota
that when 220K with a 3000 to 3500 RPM cruise and more and was using
a quart maybe every 3500 miles then. Also true RPM drop is determined
by OD ratio and to get a 30% drop you need a .7 (like on a 700R4 or
4L60 or .69 on a Ally 5 speed)

Well, it just so happens I HAVE a 700R4. Don't come off as the only
person that knows how to figure out gear ratio calculations. Geezus, I
think sometimes you argue just for the sake of arguing.
