how do you figure the VSS speeds? i'm curious as to which final drive gear will run with the lowest highway rpm and still fit into my d15b with a manual lx (granny)tranny!!

The insight hybrid 00-06 final drive gear of 3.208 should work well with my stock 5th gear 0.702 for my goal of staying below 2500 rpm at 70 mph on the highway ,I think. GOTTA STAY IN LEAN BURN ON THE HIGHWAY!!!!!!

Thanks in advance to any and all who may reply!
