I'd pick the ratio that lets me cruise on the flat Interstate at 65mph and 2000rpm... in top gear. I can always down shift, but cruising over 2000rpm kills gas mileage.
I have a TJR, 33s, 4.10s. I wish I had 3.73s.
On another note, my '87 YJ, 33s, 3.07s, got 25mpg in 4th.... average over 2000 miles from Yellowknife, NT to Denver, CO. cruising over 75mph. First trip with the TJR..... I was searching for gas stations. Getting under 20mpg.
Another cute aside, I got a ticket on a Wyoming Interstate for doing 78mph in a 75mph zone. The cop was on the other side of the Interstate, took him 10 minutes to turn around and catch me.
