why does putting in a higher gear ratio in the rearend effect fuel milage? doesnt a higher ratio make the tires turn more with each turn of the driveshaft?
wouldn't it increase milage?

A numerically higher gear ratio increases engine speed vs car speed.

higher axle ratio means less drivetrain rpm at a given speed(IE tire RPM)
youre thinking backwards :D
