Ted, I am not on a quest for more mileage, please read my entire post before you reply.

Those cars may be cheaper, but the availability is an issue. I am not looking for a different car, nor am I looking for increased mileage. I am looking for a comparison on the acceleration of the two. I assumed about 3-5 mpg gain at most, and I am more interested in hearing about the acceleration difference.

You are just repeating a moot point, which was moot the first time you stated it. I didn't say that I can't afford gas, I didn't say I'd be paying anyone to do the swap, I just would like a comparison on the differences because I have both rears right here.

I'm not asking for pity on gas prices, just stating a fact that gas is well into the $3 range and I live in a poverty stricken town with a $7 an hour minimum wage. Just a fact.

So, please, if you can't stay on the topic I am asking about, I will end the thread and ask for a comparison elsewhere and you can troll another thread.

I respect you because you have a lot of knowledge, but this is supposed to be a place where one can get info, but you have a very strict "my way or the highway" deal going on. And it makes the forum less friendly.

So, back on topic, does anyone have any experience with the different ratios, that can give me an accurate description of the acceleration differences?
