The standard rear gear ratio on a v-6 is a 2.62. Makes it a bit sluggish on takeoff. My Rallye Redline v-6 has a 3.08 rear which really helps. No one that has ridden in mine calls it sluggish.
The 3.08 is optional in all v-6s. My average fuel economy stays around 25+. This is all types of driving but mostly shorter trips with a 100 mph blast almost every time I drive it to keep the cobwebs blown out..
