On a 12,000 km trip towing I returned the same as before the gears so dont buy them for better consumption. Still have more power though to pull up those hills without costing any more in fuel

Yeah, I wasn't really expecting an overall improvement in fuel, I have been doing a few numbers with ratios and revs etc, but as long as hills get easier, I reckon there are merits to getting it done, also in the stress on components trying to turn the bigger wheels. Kinda came about for other reasons... but I'll explain once its all done
I guess the hint I left was big enough for you to pick up! well done GoJeep.
