Will: he's got a Samurai RWD transmission - it happens to bolt up directly to the stock 3-cyl engine.
Samurai FD ratio = 3.73, 5th gear = .80

This makes his drivetrain (if there is only one 1.3l samurai 5spd trans configuration ever made) at cruising speed a little bit worse than an XFi and a little bit better than other garden variety g10 clones. Not too bad, but still gives my phat whip a fighting chance at beating the midget for hwy FE

Here's darin's stockpile of ratio information for reference by the OP.
