Wow that is really high geared! Was OD usable? If so it probably was because a camaro is quite a bit lighter and more aerodynamic. Most people who have done the OD 3.08 combo with trucks like ours tend to lose MPG because they say the motor is chugging too hard to push the brick-like aerodynamics down the highway.
