the stock gearing in the DD Malibu (Malibu4) is 2.41....Malibu1 used to have 2.29s

i think i can squeeze a few more out of Malibu1 with more tuning, but my 10" high-stall torque converter just drinks fuel...at 3.21 for gallon of premium, but its no big deal, the car has a purpose...go fast & corner very well

Malibu4 which is suppost to be my DD (not now, since its still all apart), i'm considering eventully trying out a TBI unit from a truck with Megasquirt controlling it, for some reason, i feel i should be able to get 27-28mpg highway, without too much effort, any more the merrier, i 27-28 is a realistic goal for me

how much is a scan gauge?? i know they clip into the OBD2 port under the dash

we are a little "tight" on money since, i'm "between" jobs...lifes a little hard right now, but if its reasonable, i'd consider getting it eventully, plus i can use it on other cars if needed
