If you are concerned about gas milage, I guess we need to know what size carb. you have on there, and what rear gears you have. Obviously, if you have 4:10's, the highway will be almost impossible. 3:23's, or lower... then it shouldn't be too bad.

i have a 750 carb, and i am running the stock gears, i think like 2.73's or something not 100% tho. a 8-3/4 rear end.
