I'm using my 78B for commuting at about 175 miles per day. Running 75 to
80 mph is running at about 4200 to 4500 rpm.
I can have someone install OD for me for $1200 (in theory I could do it
myself, but I don't have the time or equipment to get the engine and tranny
out or back in).
With OD, what would 4200 rpm drop to? About 3000? If it was a 1/3rd drop,
what would my gas consumption reduce by? Would it be a similar amount?
Just trying to see if I can justify OD on the basis of gas savings...
Thanks in advance,
