I'm thinking the transmission is where you're going to make your biggest MPG gains. You want the motor turning rather slowly at cruise to get good MPG. Sounds like it will be hard to do with the 944 box without a lot of work.

I don't remember if the 968s had a six-speed; I'm thinking they did not but I am not sure. The 944s and 928s only had five forward gears (in the manual transmissions).
