It's the Gear Ratio Stupid

Awe... the infamous HEMI.  I need more horsepower.  Ok, let's get right to it.  The speed limit on most highways is 65/70 miles an hour.  Even the State of Montana changed their highway speeds a number of years ago.  So folks, why are we still talking about horsepower and higher speeds?  The focus of this blog is to give you an alternative.  With so many governments and police cracking down on speeders, careless and aggressive driving... I'd be willing to give up higher speeds for greater fuel efficiency and quicker acceleration.  And guess what?  We can do this.  By changing the gear ratios in our vehicles, its a simple set up that would in fact improve our gas mileage and give us some really sweet acceleration.  The trade off would be a max speed of 80-90 miles per hour.  Are you in?  Besides, I don't think I could handle a top speed of 120/130 miles per hour.  However, a super quick jump off the line, I think that would get my rocks off.  By making this simple change in gear ratios, would feed my need, be good for carbon foot print, and be better on my pocket book.
