Larry, thanks for the welcome. I know that smoothness in driving is good, but unfortunately I like to have my foot to the floor too much. I know it kills the economy, but I am still just an old guy with a kid's hot rod mentality, LOL!! I doubt that I've ever gotten through a tank of gas, with either of my vehicles, without at least a half dozen WOT runs.
As far as the gearing goes, the Jeep has 3.73's and the Maggie has 2.82's. I don't know of any higher gears available, and most of the guys that do changes go for lower....4.11's and 3.26's respectively. They're solely after performance and off road enhancement though. The Jeep has 2 overdrive gears and the Maggie has one OD gear, so that helps a fair amount. Also, the 4 cylinder shutoff at cruise on both helps quite a bit too.
