I had both 4.11's and 4.44's in my former SVX and later were by far the best gears for the car. My gas consumption didn't change as it's related to throttle position - not rpms. I was getting ~23mpg in mixed city & highway. As the engine is turning higher rpms on the highway, there's a slight increase in noise in the cabin area, but nothing that was annoying - my summer tires running over the pavement were actually louder. If I own another SVX and wanted to keep it an automatic, I would not hesitate to upgrade it to 4.44's!
