I don't know the exact amount it is. But with a full tank of gas from my house in vacaville to san jose and back home I would have just over half a tank. With the 4.10s I'm just under half a tank.

Sorry my post is a little confusing. See if this one helps My round trip (with 3.27s) when I got home would be just over half a tank left in the car. With the 4.10s round trip I have just under half a tank left. I would say I'm using 1/8+ more gas with the 4.10s

when are you taking the car to the track with the 4.10's? just wondering how much they'll improve the 13.4. did the car feel faster with the 4.10's, or slower cause of less traction?

The car definatly feels a lot faster. I did go to the track last Friday. But didn't run very well. It was 105 and I don't think it dropped below 90 the whole night. The best I ran and this was hot lapping the car was a couple of 13.5s and a bunch of 13.6s My driving was way off (bad shifting and missing gears) My 60fts were a consistant low 1.9s and that was feathering the gas because of wheel spin. I expect the car to run low 13s to high 12s with good driving and weather.

Not that much of a difference...if you keep the foot "out of it" then you can still get 250 out of a tank...I can on mine and I have the FMS 4.10's...
