  Must be an AVX.  AFIK the Eco's all or most had them.  4.25 final,

Yeah, better than an ACH and MUCH better than a AVX unless you 
plan to autocross!  Still, your AGS is only .01 taller than an FF.  I 
figured there'd only be about 200rpm difference between the FF and 
the ACH at 60mph.  Maybe your tires are giving you an extra 5mph 
above that or I figured a little conservatively.  Real world and ratio 
equations don't usually match. :)
