Actually you are geared lower. Higher Ratio #'s = lower gears. Pinion gear gets smaller on numerically higher gear sets

Car is always in the power band it seems and is much more pleasant to drive around. Fuel consumption is not really affected. I averaged 24 ish on a road trip with some pretty fast driving. In 7th gear i'm at around 3k rpm's at 80mph.

I'm glad I re-read this post, as I was looking into 3.9's for my auto as 4.08's would be too deep for me. After recalculating, there is only 4% difference between the 3.692 & the 3.9's. For the added cost I'm going to go with the 3.692's as they will already be in the low mileage diff I just bought Thanks for saving me a grip of cash

Does anyone have a clear understanding on how the cruise control works in the 370z? Where is it sensing it's reading from? Also is there any speedo/ Odo correction available/ needed?
Thanks again
