there is no best ratio's
it depends on what you do with the car
off road, or on .?
the ratios are set for on road, and max torque, of the engine.
the car can do near 30mpg fuel usage, on the road, driven, at (sane speeds) 60?
this car is a top heavy (high CG) box kite, that does badly in buffeting winds...
look at the engine hp and torque curve, all that needs be known is that. for gearing.
and this engine makes no power at low speeds, its just a lil, 1.6L
and 80hp max.
best is to just forget rpm,, its doing as it was designed to do
and the 3sp is waste, if you drive it with lower axle it will wont to down shift to 2nd every time you roll over speed bump or a dime.
be a real pain a car like that.
the axle gears is easy to measure,
here it is on my page, 1 tire off ground.

the trick is not let the other wheel spin, and to us the 2:1 ratio of the spider gears to help you.
max torque is 3000 rpm
max hp 5400.rpm
this tells you where it runs best fast. at 3000 so car n pull hills and not , have to go to 2nd gear and then scream like mad and suck fuel.
hope that helps...
