It says that it is around an 8% taller 5th gear so to my understanding at 3000 rpm of a normal 5th gear this one will rev at 2760RPM. An average of 27-30 MPG. Its worth it. It is only $150. If you were to drive 100 miles a day and got 22 MPG now, then if you got the taller 5th gear you would get say 29 MPG average. That is 7 MPG more. You would save roughly $6 a day. That means in 25 days of driving you will pay for the gear itself and after that you are just saving even more money for additional parts for your car and not gas.
