Not unless the fortuh gear is overdrive, which most four speeds aren't. Most three and four speed transmissions are a 1:1 ratio in their final (high) gear so the engine is turning the same RPM's, for any given speed, in both. The only thing the 4 speed does is give you closer gear spacing so the engine doesn't have to rev quite as high between shifts. Gas savings would be minute if any at all.

Do you drive a 1988 GMC SUBURBAN?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
