Nice; that would be awesome if that were possible for me.

Jealous of the taller transmission in my parents' 2004 Toyota Sienna minivan - revs right at 2K rpms at 70 MPH. I can get low 30s mpg-wise driving it.

One thing though, is it possible to put in a transmission that is too tall? After all, if it were possible to use taller gearing for increased MPG, wouldn't the manufacturers naturally do that?

Dreaming is probably about all I'll be doing when it comes to the more expensive FE mods.
