Well, with the five-speed my highway mileage just increased 2mpg! I'm now at 19mpg highway, woo-hoo! Cruising at 75-80 is just like driving 35 in town (i.e. no problemo!) and with my ignition and big engine I can *still* accelerate and pass people in fifth if I choose. Because of the intermittent carb problem I haven't found my top end but I was able to get to 90mph. The only problem is finding enough road without traffic since getting to the higher speeds does take some time :) With the proper gearing I don't quite have the overheating problems like before -- it's still there, but not as bad.
