Cruse Control?
Hows the Oil pressure?


3.08 is highway gearing. Tall Gear. if it had a shorter gear it would run higher RPM engine speed
i.e 3.23, 3.42, 3.73 or 4.10....


The shorter the gear(higher RPM = more fuel used) the more fuel consumption...

The hybrid has a lot of torque..


you could put taller tires or shorter tires to change the Final ratio as well...
