I'm with you and with MetroMPG. Get the VX setup that will give you lower rpms. If you want improved mpg that's the way to go.

It's not as if you're putting in gearing that was not designed for your engine and car. That gearset WAS designed for your engine and car. Or at least, very close matches to what you're driving. Take advantage of what's available to get lower rpms and higher mpg.
