theclencher Registered Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 542	First year ('84) Tempo/Topaz had a "Fuel Saver" 4-speed which featured a higher final drive ratio than the 5-speed. Can't put my finger on fe figures but I think the 4-speed was rated higher. __________________ Tempo/Topaz: Old EPA 23/33/27 New EPA 21/30/24 F150: New EPA12/14/17
