I like the taller gearing, the Y5 I think is a good match with all the VERY low end torque it produces *relatively speaking*
I can say with 100% confidence that gearing trumps leanburn for economy on the D16y5 no matter what.

Get a few more tanks of gas under your belt and some pictures of all this work you're doing would be great too, I enjoy documenting and seeing pictures of builds.
Id like to find a Dyno sheet showing a stock y5 curve in 12v operation it is probably a more torque than a b series
To agree and contradict you; I would lose mileage switching back to a long geared trans just because I spend most of my longer sections of commute at 50-55mph. Sometimes the extra throttle to stay in lean burn would hurt my tank average.
